Subject: Re:  X Terminals
Status: R

	You asked if these X terminals can be used to connect
to a host via a modem.  The terminals we have seen so far, claim
to support Serial Line IP (SLIP).  We have not tested this feature
as yet.  We definitely will be looking into this option.  However,
the one thing we do know so far is that it would be unrealistic to
expect to run X at speeds any lower than 9600 baud.  Even at that
rate, things will look pretty slow.

	Cost of these terminals range from $2500 to $5000, depending
on various configuration options.  Screeen resolutions are 1024x800
on the Visual and 1024x1024 on the NCD.
