dumb terminals

A couple people (Richard Cini, William Hayes) were interested in the terminals and requested more information. Here's some blurbs from the manuals: First the CIT-101e Video Terminal by CIE Terminals (a C.Itoh electronics company): The CIT-101e is directly interchangeable with the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VT100 Video Terminal. The CIT-101e can operate in one of two modes, ANSI or VT52. In ANSI mode the CIT-101e is compatible with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) programming standards. In the VT52 mode the CIT-101e is software compatible with DEC VT52 terminals. Standard features include a full and half duplex communication channel, RS-232-C or 20 mA current loop communication interface, an auxiliary full duplex port, an alternate character set, and temporary storage of up to three display pages. Next, the AT&T Information Systems DataSpeed 4425 Display Terminal: Hmmm, well there's no real good descriptive blurb to type up like the CIE manual had. This terminal can be configured in the setup to do VT52 escape sequences. I don't think it has a current loop interface as I don't see any mention of one. It does have an "integral modem", which is actually an external box. It goes up to 1200 baud. You can dial the modem right from the terminal by hitting the F1 key. Both these terminals can do 132 columns. I don't know if that excites anyone but I thought I'd mention it. I'll tell the guy to hold off on dumping them until you folks have made up your minds. Again, there's also a ton of switchboxes, cables and gender changers.
