This is a machine that allows you to send commands to a remote computer This usually requires at least a minimum of a keyboard and display This will usually use terminal software, which emulates a physical terminal One such software, known as X-Win, brings up an xterm (or x terminal) so the user can see and do processes on the remote machine This is the mechanism that allows you to put in commands to a computer that is in a remote location These consoles can be broken up in three different categories; intelligent, smart, and dumb A dumb-terminal is one that has no processing power A smart-terminal has some, but limited processing power A smart-terminal has it's own full-blown processor and memory, and is capable of a lot of processing An example where these machines are used is on a server, where there is terminals set up to access the various servers
A device that allows you to send commands to a computer somewhere else At a minimum, this usually means a keyboard and a display screen an some simple circuitry Usually you will use terminal software in a personal computer- the software pretends to be (emulates) a physical terminal and allows you to type commands to a computer somewhere else
