In my very limited experience of dumb terminals they are literally that. The brains exist on the mainframe. That'll be the OS and everything else. Look at it as a monitor and keyboard on a network cable. Pretty much useless I'm afraid.

Hi all,
    First, my apologies for disappearing. I didn't realise that one of the ukha emails had bounced and so my subscription was automatically cancelled - I though it was a bit quiet - lol. Anyhow, here's my problem/opportunity. I've been given (by the techie at my school) a dumb terminal by Advance Micro Research (which was found in a cupboard) - called "The UnTerminal Station". It is an SVGA station platform with a DIN (AT) keyboard port, parallel port, serial port, SVGA port, and a "network" port which is like the 6-pin connections on modems (RJ-11 i think)not forgetting the requisite IEC power port. Unfortunately I have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER about how to get it to work. When i try connecting it up and powering on all I get is the three lights on the keyboard flashing (Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock) and a sound of what I presume is a relay clicking. Any suggestions on what, if anything, it does and how to use it would be useful. Have a pleasant day.
 
Many thanks in advance,
 
Lee Edward Causier.
