Some adjustments to the information posted about the 
NCR TOWERVIEW X Station....

>The NCR Towerview is a 68020 based X Windows terminal.  It has a

The keyboard is plug compatible with an IBM-AT, but has 101 key
PS2-like layout.
System has hardware cursor --no disappearing, flashing, jumping cursor fun :-)

>The mouse is a 3-button (unknown if optical, but presumed so). 

The mouse has  3 buttons and is opto-mechanical (no pad required ).

>Standard hookup is via RS232.  Either Ethernet or the NCR Towernet 

TCP/IP and TOWERNET networking are available.

Base price is $2595 and includes 1MB memory and RS-232 interface.  
With ethernet option and 1.5MB memory the price is $3300.
Memory is upgradable to 3 MB.

TOWERVIEW supports locally executing X client programs, downloadable X
extensions, multiple telnet sessions in terminal emulation windows, and
 a window to the RS-232 port (called Modem Window) when using 
ethernet for host communications.
