Can anyone tell me what kind of phone this is?

Post by NathanBarnatt »

I know this was a technology trade show in 1982. It has a pullout keyboard and monitor. I gotta find this phone. I think its a computer/ phone. Anyone seen one before? Know the brand?

Ill look for it, I want one too... It would be awesome if it was a TTY then you could still use it (TTY is unix based so you could in theory use it to access your network)
