Cumulus Technology Corp is targeting the alphanumeric terminals replacement market. Its widget, the AlphaWindow Terminal, is based on the new Alpha Window standard from the Display Industry Association. It offers a windows environment under a Motif-style interface supporting 16 sessions and 22 windows, each reportedly running a different application, and claims to be able to run virtually all existing character-based Unix applications. The system was designed with host software rather than terminal firmware. The AlphaWindow includes a high-resolution 15 display to which it plans to add Santa Cruz Operation Inc Console and AT&T Console mode emulations. Pricing is $760 for the terminal; $460 for the limited licence software.
