I'm lookin to buy a simple ascii terminal that I can hook up to a modem and use to dial in to work. I won't be transferring files, so I don't THINK I need a PC. Has anyone tried this? Seems silly to spend $1000-$2000 on a PC when all I'll do is use it as a dumb terminal. I figure I can get a used, useless (TVI 910?) terminal for $50 or so. Anyone have any advice, or want to sell me a dumb terminal? (Actually, I'd want some cursor movement and highlighting, say reverse-video, since I'll be using emacs. So it can't be TOO dumb!) Thanks for any advice. Post if you must, but with follow-ups to comp.terminals. If there's interest, I'll summarize. |============================================================================| | Internet: browning@nas.nasa.gov Phone: (415) 604-4321 | | UUCP: {hplabs, mailrus, ucbvax, etc.}!ames!amelia!browning | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |"the nice thing about true hopelessness is that you don't have to try again"| | -- jules shear | |============================================================================|
