3238.0. "VXT X-terminal configuration" by BKEEPR::BREITNER (Sr. Sales Support Consultant) Tue Jun 23 1992 15:51

Can I get opinions on VXT configurations for MCC use:

1) Minimal/optimal VXT screen sizes/types: (15/17/19, mono, gray, color)

2) Additional memory above the as-shipped 4MB

3) Adequacy of performance (I've seen note 2340 - anything more recent?)

This will be the sole MCC display/control device for a state-wide TCP/IP
network running on Vitalink and Stratacom boxes.

THANKS (in advance)

3238.1No opinions?BKEEPR::BREITNERSr. Sales Support ConsultantTue Jul 14 1992 19:1413
Either the readership is shy about responding (fat chance)
or
we're all using NCD X-terminals
or
we're all dumb and happy with our own VAXstations and don't know or care about
X-terminals
or
I haven't asked the right question quite right yet.

Is there any opinion to be shared or are all X-terminals equally OK for MCC?

THANKS
Norm
3238.2I use VT1300/SPXCAADC::GALVINMic Galvin, MCI TeamMon Aug 03 1992 05:4621
    Hi there,
    	Ok, I'll take a stab at it...disclaimer, I'm new to MCC, just
    working on a prototype for a customer.  Our configuration is:
    
    	VAXserver 3900/64mg Memory
    	2 RF71 disks
    	1 VT1300/SPX/8mg Memory
    
    	I setup Elan for my Iconic Map, (EWS/DECwindows), it's a long
    story, but basically, it was hardware that had been purchased...  We
    recently ran a demo using a 4000/VLC...buy the 4000!  There are no
    limitations, that I know of, but there are alot of "flukey" things that
    we see from time to time, in a very small Network... 2 areas, about 75
    total systems...  From time to time the Xterminal doesn't boot...  The
    performance, prior to the memory caching, is...limited.  No "techy
    stats" to back up my words...just gut and experience.  I've been using
    it for 3-4 months.  Another disclaimer however, tomorrow I upgrade to
    V1.2...so stay tuned.  Hope this is helpful.
