Steve, First, please use the OPTIONS command or menu item here to change your name. This Forum requires use of your full first and last name. There are at least a thousand dealers of Digital products across the US (never mind worldwide). Many of them advertise in the Digital publications such as Digital Review and Digital News, which are sent free of charge to system managers and buyers of VAX and PDP-11 computer systems (which are the Digital computers to which VTs and LA printers are commonly attached). My company happens to sell Digital products but we don't do enough business to compete on price — we sell primarily to a specific vertical market (nonprofit organizations) and we compete on service, including in-depth understanding of the products. To go beyond that would be a violation of the anti-commercialism rules of this Forum, so if you have any further interest I would suggest you send me a message with more details about your situation via CompuServe Mail. There are also two Forums on CompuServe which deal with the computers that normally 'host' VTs and LA printers: GO PDP11 or GO VAXFORUM. -Bill
