A couple of people mentioned that my note on X terminals was truncated (the old xrn problem). Anyway, someone else mentioned the NCR, NCD, Visual, and GraphOn terminals. A couple of others are: Acer-Counterpoint (Santa Clara?, CA) Human Design Systems (Philadelphia, PA) Tektronix The Acer terminal is cheap ($1000), but performance isn't great. The HDS and Tektronix terminals have been announced, but I don't think either is shipping now. Both are big screen color terminals, with expected prices $1000 to $2000 more than monochrome terminals. Also note that NCD and Visual have recently announced 19" versions of their terminals, with the same number of pixels as the old ones. Other companies are rumored to be developign X terminals, including a couple of the big 3 letter word companies, but no announcements have been made. Other companies, such as MIPS and Tektronix, are reselling the NCD and Visual terminals. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.

Is it the NCD of the Visual? brooks@maddog.llnl.gov, brooks@maddog.uucp

Under this agreement Tektronix has recently introduced the Tektronix XN5, a monochrom X display station or X terminal, that is manufactured by NCD.

The 15" monitor on the XN11 was being shown, though a 19" is also available. RAM up to 8MB. Communications protocols supported are Netstations and TCP/IP. Built-in VT100 emulation in a Telnet window. Cost is $7495; shipments to begin in November. -- David B.
