Are these actual computers or just dumb terminals with
a telephone
built-in?
I have a Northern Telecom unit like this. It's a
smaller terminal with a
phone handset and keypad on the base. A keyboard tray pulls out of the
bottom of the base.
Aye Sallam, didn't I tell you about this little beasts ?
They are full figured Sinclair QLs with integrated analogue
phones. AFAIK a bunch of phonerelated applications where
provided in ROM. One may name it as the first PDA ... you
know, like the TREO, Or PocketPC Phone edition ... just a
few more pounds (even pricewise:)
