ADDS Viewpoint News --<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>-- Boundless Technologies (formerly known as SunRiver Data Systems, also formerly known as the ADDS division of NCR) is the major surviving player (as of late 1998) in the character-cell video-terminal business. http://www.boundless.com/news/pr32795.htm The firm bought the entire VT510, VT520, and VT525 terminal business from Digital/Compaq. Boundless also makes MultiConsole Personal Terminals that appear on the market under several brand names (including AT&T, Dorio, ADDS, and Stratus). The main website URL is easy to remember: http://www.boundless.com/ Other useful product and support Web pages and FTP URLs: http://www.boundless.com/textterm/ http://www.boundless.com/support/txtindex.htm ftp://ftp.boundless.com/pub/text/dec/specs/ (DEC/Dorio feature lists) ftp://ftp.boundless.com/pub/text/adds/docs/4000_user/ (User's Guide for ADDS 4000, a set of Microsoft Word documents) ftp://ftp.boundless.com/pub/text/adds/docs/260_prog/ (Programmer's Guide for ADDS 4000/260) Much of the description of the 4000/260's capabilities, especially in ANSI mode, applies also to the older DEC VT220 and VT320 terminals. The current Boundless terminals can be connected easily to hosts with TCP/IP Telnet by using the optional Ethernet adapter: http://www.boundless.com/textterm/adds98datash/ADDSethernetfront.htm --<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>----<>-- Newsgroups: comp.terminals Message-ID: <1998032620530000.PAA03394@ladder01.news.aol.com> References: <3511D7EF.28CC4B16@soltec.net> Date: 26 Mar 1998 20:53:00 GMT From: MHanni7872 Subject: Re: ADDS980 spec request ADDS stands for Applied Digital Data Systems.
