I saw a demonstration of the Wyse 150 terminal at the Canadian Computer
Show, and was quite impressed. However, there were a few questions I had
that not even the Wyse reps there could answer:

- The demo they were running showed a large number of fonts, some double
width, some double height, some vertical. Are these all built into the
system, does it have a bitmap facility, or are these downloaded fonts?

- There were some reliability concerns by some with the Wyse 60, which
this model supposedly replaces. Have these concerns been addressed?

- The demo also had small, icon-like graphic symbols like mailboxes and
folders. How were these graphics created and displayed?

- Has anyone done a termcap or terminfo entry for the 150 using native
mode?

Thank you.
