 Deploy Text Terminals Without Compromise

CLI has been in the i-Series and Mainframe business for over 25 years designing a plug compatible terminal that provided i-Series and Mainframe customers an alternative to IBM.

Ethernet Text Terminal 

The first-of-its-kind ET2000 simplifies support and offers a low-cost solution for today's IBM AS/400, mainframe, and Unix driven offices.  This ultra-thin client is exclusively available from CLI and their authorized resellers.

The ET2000 is an Ethernet connected, character-based terminal with a host addressable printer port for IBM AS/400, mainframe, and Unix networks.  The ET2000 offers simplicity and manageability with familiarity in keyboards and monitors displaying sign-on screen with the look of a twinax/coax/ASCII terminal.

Enjoy simple local or remote network connectivity using TCP/IP and TN5250e / TN3270e / VT100 / VT220 / XTerm to IBM AS/400, mainframe, and Unix servers.   Gain multi-host, multi-session hook-up (up to four sessions to up to four different hosts).   Centralized management of individual units allows better utilization of support and help desk assets.

Productivity is enhanced by eliminating the user learning curve and costs associated with some thin clients or PC products.  There is no seat license and a boot server is not required.  ET2000 Ethernet terminals connect via an inexpensive TCP/IP router which eliminates the need for remote controllers, SNA back-bone networks, or expensive new wiring.

Domino or Exchange e-mail is supported via IBM recommended Evergreen/400 e-mail software as well as other host-based e-mail packages.
