Hi,

I'm in the market for an X-windows terminal.  I'm seriously considering
one of Hewlett-Packard's RISC-based X-window terminals, specifically,
an HP 700/RX model 19Mi.

What have been user's experiences with these?

This particular model comes with 2 MB of memory.  Will this be enough?
I was thinking about adding an xtra 4-8 MB of memory.  I'm not going to
be running any big applications on it, though.  Mostly, I'm going to
be telneting to the various systems that I manage so that I can see what
is going on with them all at once.

Does this X-terminal need to be on the same subnet as the X-server? I've
heard of this with "other" brands. 

Also, I have questions about resolution.  How does 1280x1024 look on a
19-inch monitor?  Especially compared with DEC's x-terminals or even
a Sun SLC?  I don't have the opportunity to see them all compared side
by side.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
