I like the Falco 5220e It has vt100/220, ANSI, Tektronics 4014, overscan, true dual host, etc. I use them to run our graphic applcations as the mode switching and bitmaps look great. It's a monochrome terminal though. With the graphic chip option (~$65) you can get 3 pages of memory to display a full 25X80 page of text, a full bitmap screen and a third text page in 132 columns. You can get up to 6 windows if you're conservative and don't need all those features. I use them to dual host to different systems including a VAX and our SCO XENIX system. They make other models if you need to do things like run VP/ix and stuff. -- Gary Blumenstein, UNIX Systems Administrator // CIBA-GEIGY CORPORATION, USA =========================================================================== Voice: (914) 347-4700 7 Skyline Drive, Hawthorne, NY 10502 FAX : (914) 347-5687 uucp: ...{philabs, gaboon}!crpmks!{sysadm, garyb}
