Well SCO support this out of the box, assuming you have two different video boards in your machine (i.e. VGA and a MONO). Your multi-screens are automatically split between the two screens. >In this last option we have seen is a MultiVideo-VGA board advertized >in Byte's European section (I think) from a German company called >IGEL.

There is a local crowd that distribute something called the un-terminal which is basically a board that goes into your UNIX box and you have long cables with a distribution box that a standard VGA monitor, bus mouse and standard AT Keyboard plug into. It is mainly aimed at the X-windows (i.e. SCO Open Desktop) market. If you are REALLY interested, I can find the name of the company concerned. >In the interim, who knows of any UNIX-supported colour terminals >that can be run over standard serial ports and that don't cost and >arm and several other limbs? Mhh you can always get Sun River terminals which are full VGA and run on fiber-optic cables, but they probably cost more than your host :-) Cheers Aris -- Aris Stathakis | Bang: ..!uunet!ddsw1!olsa99!tabbs!aris or aris@tabbs.UUCP - UNIX is like pickled herring - Nobody thinks it's any good - - Until they've tried it! -
