Hello, This question is somehow off topic but I know there are some readers here old enough to shade some light in this matter. I want to get and idea of what was or is an old true hardware UNIX terminal. I have searched google, but the word "terminal" associated with UNIX points most of the time to what we know today as UNIX shell. If someone, please, can show me a doc or explain a little bit what was a terminal at that moment back in time. I know that it was some kind of hardware, maybe RS232 related, used to connect to some main frame. But I am unable to find the details. I even lack some tech words to search deeper on the web.
Thank you.
