[comp.windows.x] GraphOn X-terminals

mark@sunquest.UUCP (Mark McCourt) (07/09/90)

Does anybody have any experience with using GraphOn Optimax 200 
X-terminals over 9600 or 19.2k baud modems?  Specifically,
is there a difference in the performance with and without
modems running at the same baud rate?  (We are currently
trying one out and don't have any modems to test it with)

Also, i would be interested in knowing what modems people 
have used with these terminals with good results.  I suspect
Telebit T2500s work well.  Any others?  

Thanks in advance.

I would like some feedback from people using GraphOn X-terminals over serial lines.

We would be expecting to run over 100 X-terminals.

What sort of server capacity should we be looking at?
(i.e. Could I expect to hang 10 on a Sun SS1 or would it need to be a Sparc-2 server?)

Are the GraphOn's robust enough for student laboratory use?

Any other comments regarding performance, general usability, etc would also be appreciated.

I will post a summary should there be any interest.

Thanks
-Cameron
