Below is a summary of the information I received on X terminals.  Thanks to
all who replied.

From: kem@kato.prl.ufl.edu (Kelly Murray)

Info on the NCX line of X terminals:

It's URL: "file://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ncx/home.html".
Sometimes the netcom ftp server gets swamped, so keep trying.
If you don't have a WWW browser, you can simply anonymous ftp the files
in ftp.netcom.com:~ftp/pub/ncx/*.html.

From: John Dorn <nordgraf@utcc.utoronto.ca>

John recommended HP, TEK, and NCD as the ones to look for.  He mentioned
HDS as a low-end monochrome option, but wasn't sure of their quality.

The onces to avoid are Visual, DEC, and IBM.

He also has a  friend who is selling some TEK 19" colour 1280*1024
with 4 mb memory used 12-18 months under light usage.  You can probably
pick them up for under $2000 with a TEK warranty.  Contact John if you
are interested.  His friend has 200 available.

-----
The rest of the information I received was from friends as Georgia Tech. 
The College of Computing recently purchased X terminals for their grad
students so I received some good pointers.

NCD, HP, and Tektronix were again recommended.  Also recommended was checking
out a magazine called OpenSystemsToday which apparently advertizes alot of
X terminals.

Contact info:

NCD -- (404)424-0905  The person to talk to is Ken Pischke.

Tektronix -- (407)660-2727  The person to talk to is Jim Miller.

SUN -- (404)901-6910  Talk to Dan Streuber...he may not be exactly who you
       need to talk to but can point you in the right direction.

HP -- (404)246-5216  Talk to Olen Leonard...again may not be the right person.

HDS -- (800)HDS-1551

The 404 number are our local contacts...you might be able to get other 
numbers through those.

-----
From the data I have gotten, NCD is the best company to go for.  They 
apparently have the widest range of products and good prices.  I just 
compiled all of this info and have yet to call these companies.  I will
do so tomorrow (Friday) or next week.  Hopefully this has been useful
to you.
