The price is $699.00 plus shipping etc.. With the 10% discount coupon, even including shipping, it should cost no more than about $650.00. Does anyone know anything good or bad about this terminal? Is it UNIX(tm) compatible (dose it have "|", "^", "{", upper/lower case etc.)? Can you put a standard RS-232 port on it to use as a hard-wired terminal or with another (1200 baud) modem? What kind of (if any) cursor controls does it have? Would a termcap for an H-19 work for this machine? Please send me any responses (the sooner the better, the 10% discount is only good for a month) and I'll summarize on the net. Thanx, Marc Wells, ...!ucbvax!teklabs!marcw ...!decvax!tekalbs!marcw
