ICL has launched a range of innovative Multi-Window X terminals - general-purpose devices capable of linking into a wide range of multi-vendor computer networks to provide high resolution, high performance graphical application access.
Alastair McFadzean, business development manager of PSA, said ICL's new X terminals would benefit users of many open systems.
''Multi-Window X terminals employ flexible network technology,'' he said.
''Users can enjoy access to networked multi-vendor hosts simultaneously - be they ICL, IBM, DEC or Sun.'' Multi-Window X terminals will also centralise all kinds of network administrations such as back-up, applications, security and operating systems.
The models available now include the X140c, a 35-centimetre colour X Window terminal, the X150, a 38-cm monochrome X Window terminal and the X192, a reduced-instruction-set computing-based (RISC) 33-MHz X Window terminal with a 47-cm monochrome landscape screen.
Multi-Window X terminals can support different connectivity solutions, including TCP/IP, TELNET, LAT and DECnet.
