Netland:

	As part of a proposal for a project I have to find out some information
on peripherals (software, etc.) used in graphics applications.
I know this sounds too general and therefore let me phrase the following
questions:

1- What graphics peripherals have you used in a workstation environment and
what is your opinion on them?

2- We got Suns 1.0 and we are not impressed with their graphics capabilities.
Does the Sun 2.0 and its dedicated graphics hardware perform better?

3- Has anyone used Scion's graphics cards (and displays (?)), particularly
for the IBM PC?

4- Has anyone got any experience with BBN's Bitgraph? How programable are they?
Isn't the RS232 interface a bottleneck when displaying bitmaps?

5- Has anyone seen in operation the new Teletype multi-window terminal?
I read a review in Unix Review and it sounded somewhat bizarre.

I guess that's enough. If any of the above has been discussed before just
give me pointers such discussion. If there is enough interest I will
post whatever replies I get. 
Thanks for your time.
