Hi.  I need to find out what make and model of windowing terminal
will work with a 3B2 running layers.  I'm sure there are models from
AT&T, I just don't know what they are.  Also, I'm sure other terminal
manufacturers produced similar terminals...

So, the basic prerequisites for these terminals are:

  * black/white (color not necessary, probably will be unused)
  * preferably >= 14" screen size
  * must be able to keep jobs in background windows running
    (i.e. jobs in non-selected windows should not stop)

If you have experience with them, info on that would be great too.
Thanks for any leads.  I appreciate it.

I use layers/windowing all the time, I use the AT&T620 Terminal. The
620,630,720,730 terminals from AT&T are all capable.

Other terminals can be used but I don't have that data.

The 630 and 730 terminals are full page terminals, beyond the 80/24
setup.
