I'm looking for advice from experienced AT&T 630 users. I want to use one in the following environment: * Medium heavy use with BSD on a Sun at 2400B. * Light use with a 3B1 (locally connected). * Very heavy use with OS-9/68k. * Very light use with OS-9/6809. Is the firmware in the terminal good enough that I will be able to use a reasonable subset of its power without attaching it to a Unix machine. I wouldn't expect 14 windows, but can I have one per host? Can I download fonts (is there enough control on the glyph sizes that I can write a DVI previewer)? Can I do graphics? Is the windows documentation good enough that I will be able to write an OS-9 file manager to support them? Is the firmware documentation in general complete enough that I'll be able to generate code for it without the AT&T tools (I'll be doing it from OS-9). Is there any hint of an X windows cartridge for the terminal? If I get the terminal and write a file manager for it does anyone want a copy? Thank you, Peter Dibble dibble@rochester rochester!dibble
