It will do all you ask with blazing speed. They have monchrome, EGA and VGA versions. And recently they announced price reductions which makes it even more attractive, esp. when comparing it to a dumb old ASCII/ANSI tube. The throughput performance has to be seen to be believed. I use one daily and I'll never give it up. They are in Jackson, Miss. at (601) 957-0100. -- Jeff Tye ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!swusrgrp!jeff southwest!/usr/group is the Southwest U.S. chapter of /usr/group

I am looking for a good dumb terminal to hang off of one of my serial lines for my Xenix/386 machine which has some or all of the following features: - Same escape sequences as the multiscreens (ANSI) - 80 x 25 display area - at least 8 colors. 16 would be better. - has all of the function keys (including PgUp, etc..) that an IBM PC/AT complatible keyboard would have. I am developing a piece of software which runs on the console. I want to be able to run it on a dumb terminal with very little difference from the user's perspective. Event down to the way the keys are labeled. I have heard that Wyse makes such a terminal, but I don't know the model number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the time you get ANSI, color, compatible keyboard, etc, you might
be better off to buy the cheapest XT clone you can find, add a cheap EGA
and monitor, and run (free) Kermit in vt100 mode.

what i would like to see is a good terminal that had a mouse port. it should
be able to multiplex the mouse and keyboard data together on one serial port.
of course it would have to come with drivers. does anyone know of such a
beast?

I like the Falco 5220e It has vt100/220, ANSI, Tektronics 4014, overscan, true dual host, etc. I use them to run our graphic applcations as the mode switching and bitmaps look great. It's a monochrome terminal though. With the graphic chip option (~$65) you can get 3 pages of memory to display a full 25X80 page of text, a full bitmap screen and a third text page in 132 columns. You can get up to 6 windows if you're conservative and don't need all those features. I use them to dual host to different systems including a VAX and our SCO XENIX system. They make other models if you need to do things like run VP/ix and stuff. -- Gary Blumenstein, UNIX Systems Administrator // CIBA-GEIGY CORPORATION, USA =========================================================================== Voice: (914) 347-4700 7 Skyline Drive, Hawthorne, NY 10502 FAX : (914) 347-5687 uucp: ...{philabs, gaboon}!crpmks!{sysadm, garyb}
