A couple of people mentioned that my note on X terminals was truncated
(the old xrn problem).  Anyway, someone else mentioned the NCR, NCD,
Visual, and GraphOn terminals.  A couple of others are:

Acer-Counterpoint (Santa Clara?, CA)
Human Design Systems (Philadelphia, PA)
Tektronix

The Acer terminal is cheap ($1000), but performance isn't great.  The
HDS and Tektronix terminals have been announced, but I don't think
either is shipping now.  Both are big screen color terminals, with
expected prices $1000 to $2000 more than monochrome terminals.

Also note that NCD and Visual have recently announced 19" versions of
their terminals, with the same number of pixels as the old ones.

Other companies are rumored to be developign X terminals, including a
couple of the big 3 letter word companies, but no announcements have
been made.  Other companies, such as MIPS and Tektronix, are reselling
the NCD and Visual terminals.
