We are currently considering purchasing a number of X-terminals, to use as 
front-ends to our VMS and Unix systems. 

I'd be interested to find out some information from other sites using 
Xterminals. In particular, 

	What make of X-terminals are you using ?
	
	How much memory is necessary? How is this split between  
	display and IO ?

	What about monitor size ? Is a 14" monitor useable - can you work with
	it, or is it too small when you have lots of windows up?

At the moment, we are considering products from Pericom, NCD and Tektronix -
should we be looking at any other company's products ?

Regards,
Bruce.
