Connecting USERS to UNIX

Compass Corporate Systems, Inc. is introducing a new ethernet-based
terminal appropriately called an "Etherminal". This "Etherminal" or
terminal for the ethernet provides your workplace with performance and
flexibility, which conventional terminals could never offer.

* The "Etherminal" connects to the network via 10BASE-T or 10BASE2 and is
considerably faster than a serial line connection.

* Uses a standard non-proprietary PC keyboard and VGA monitor. Allows users
to use their favorite keyboard style and monitor size.

* A variety of devices can be attached to the "Etherminal" through its (1)
LPT and (2) COM ports. Devices can be either local or seen by the entire
network. In a terminal server configuration, the "Etherminal" can support
an additional two serial terminals through its (2) COM ports. In the print
server configuration, the "Etherminal" can support two serial printers and
one parallel printer. No network interface cards are needed for the
printers! Additional devices such as POS equipment, barcoding, and modems
can also be attached.

* Maximum of 8 ethernet sessions. Sessions can be connected to the same
host or to 8 different hosts. Additionally each session can have its own
configurable foreground and background colors.

* Password protected setup is available so inexperienced useres can not
accidentally change the "Etherminal's" configuration.

* Built-in screen saver (dim). Not a critically important feature, but
still nice to have.

Contact Compass Corporate Systems, Inc. to discuss how the "Etherminal" can
provide a variety of solutions to your business needs.
