264.0. "KEYPAD only device for VT410" by SIOG::KILROY () Fri May 16 1997 09:01

    Hello all,
    		I am looking for a keypad (only) device to connect to a
    VT410 for a large supermarket chain.  
    
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    
    
    Regards,
    
    John Kilroy		Ireland.

   You'd be better off with a VT5xx series, if you can do it -- the
   later series terminals use a PC-based signaling protocol, and I'd
   expect to be able to find widgets for these.  (The number of folks
   that were working with the older RJ-based keyboard protocol and
   associated signaling scheme was pretty small...)
