[comp.terminals] terminal recommendations sought

jms@wzlr.UUCP (Jack Stephens) (06/07/88)

 I am interested in picking the net's collective brain for terminal
 recommendations.  I have been asked to research the purchase of several
 (9) low end terminals.  In particular, I need (in order of importance):

 1. Split port capability (main @ 9600 or 19.2, aux @ 1200)
 2. No attribute bytes [I'm running SCO software that demands sg#0 ]
 3. Low cost           [ so what else is new ]
 4. PC-like keyboards  [ to minimize user shock ]
 5. Amber screen

 As you can see, a fairly standard wish list.  Any info as to source,
 price recommendations or anecdotes would be appreciated.  I will
 summarize if there is enough interest.

 Thanks!

 jms

Mail to you kept bouncing, so thought I may as well post this.

My catalog lists the HP 700/41 at $375.  I think it is the closest we have 
to what you want.  The standard keyboard isn't a pc layout, but I think it 
covers most of your other concerns.

For real information try calling the sales types at (800) 538-8787 or you
can try to get e-mail to me.

campbelr@hpda.hp.com        talking, when I hear the silly things you say.
