138.0. "VT1000 & mcc - Will They Play?" by CTOAVX::GUMBUS (Gumby) Tue May 29 1990 16:40

    Is the new VT1000 DECwindows Terminal a suitable display device (I know
    that it is not offered in color) for occasional use with the Enterprise
    Version of DECmcc?
    
    The scenario would be: A MV3100 running DECmcc. ANd on the same
    Ethernet LAN a VT1000.
    
    Any help you can give me for a sanity check would be appreciated,
    especially the amount of memeory for the VT1000.
    
    Thanks in Advance. Art

138.1	VT1000 Not Supported	DELNI::L_FELICE		`Fri Jun 08 1990 09:54`	9
	The VT1000 is not currently supported with either of the DECmcc Management Station products, SMS and EMS. As you know, some of the included products need a color terminal/workstation display. Some testing with the VT1000 terminals did occur, but with fairly early prototypes. Maybe someone else has tried this and has some recommendations. Lisa

	I have been meaning to test out the Iconic Map PM on the VT1000 out in the lab here. I know nothing about the VT1000s yet...I'll let you know how it goes. Fred
138.3	dont count on it	KINRYU::JENNINGS		`Mon Aug 13 1990 14:52`	5
	As with the old NMCC, any display which requires gray scale (highlighting, color orientation, etc) will NOT work on a vt1000 which is bitonal only. Don Jennings San Francisco
138.4	VT1000/1200 Update?	MAIL::CLAYTON	Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217	`Fri Aug 31 1990 14:37`	14
	Is there any update on the feasability of using the VT1000/1200 for the user interface into the DECmcc applications? It seems to me that with the current DECmcc applications, TSM, RBMS, LTM, and Enim, one should be able to access these via an X-Windows terminal provided color and graphics are not issues. However, what are the implications with the EMA compliant counterparts to the applications above? Will EMA compliant FMs and AMs work only on a graphics workstation? We have a potential to proliferate about 20 DECmcc stations with my customer. However, this is an issue that needs to first be resolved. Merlin

	I was able to crate a lat session on one today, but I was UNable to open the display. Has any one in the audience used a VT1000 before? Fred

138.7	xnay on vt1000 vt1200	KINRYU::JENNINGS		`Mon Oct 01 1990 20:12`	9
	I/ve said this before, but if the DECwindows interface requires greyscale/color the vt1000/vt1200 will not work. The vt1000/vt1200 is bitonal only, and displays are greyscale (like the Regis displays on NMCC) the screen will come up black on black. Since greyscale is not slated for the current vt1200 hardware, this will not change. regards, Don Jennings
