As a Mitel product manager in 1982, the donor used this workstation both at the office and at home. The ‘Kontact’ is a Canadian innovation conceived by the Mitel Corporation in the early 1980’s. Recognizing the need to make management workstations more effective, the Kontact was the first PC to integrate two-line telephony features with a data terminal. Aimed at a white-collar business market, the Kontact’s selling point was that it combined most cluttering office tools into one sleek workstation; the idea being that the speed and efficiency of communications would increase thus facilitating the management of a business. Le gérant des produits à la compagnie Mitel a utilisé ce bureau de travail en 1982 à la maison et au travail. Le ‘Kontact' est une invention canadienne qui a été conçue par Mitel Corporation au début des années 1980s. Le ‘Kontact' étais le premier PC pour intégrer deux lignes de téléphone avec un terminal des données. L'argument de vente pour l'objet était qu'il combinait plusieurs outils de travail pour maximiser la vitesse et efficacité de communication et ainsi faciliter la gestion d'une entreprise.
Function
An input device used to enter characters and other various functions for the ‘Kontact’ workstation created by the Mitel Corporation. Une unité d’entrée utiliser pour appliquer des fonctions ou des caractères pour le ‘Kontact’ bureau de travail crée par la Corporation Mitel.
Technical
The first Kontact workstations ran on a 6809 processor and had 3270 emulation as well as VT220 emulation. Kontact’s were sold with the following standard applications; an Agenda (calendar), DataComm (ASCII TTY), a calculator, phone (two lines), electronic mail (point-to-point emailing), and maintenance utilities. A variety of optional, or custom, programs were also obtainable. Additional software packages included the ‘ExecuWrite’ program (word processing), the ExecuCalc (electronic spreadsheet) program, as well as 3278 and VT-100 emulation (when combined, the VT-100 and the 3278 emulation packages were called KT-Comm). All applications could be easily selected and accessed by pressing corresponding ‘soft keys’ (much like the ‘F’ keys found on today’s standard keyboards); ‘Soft keys’ were used before the advent of program icons. Les premiers bureaux de travail Kontact utilisais un sous-traitant 6809 et avait une émulation de 3270 ainsi qu'une émulation de VT220. Les Kontact étaient vendus avec les applications standard comme : un calendrier/agenda, une calculatrice, deux lignes de téléphone, une boite a mail électronique pour des courriels points vers point, DataComm (ASCII TTY) et un entretien d'installations. Des programmes optionnels ou sur mesure comme ‘ExecuWrite' (pour le traitement de texte) ou ExecuCalc (pour un tableur électronique) ainsi que des émulations simples (VT-100 et 3728) ou combiner ensemble pour faire KT-Comm pouvait être rajouté aussi. Les applications pouvaient être accédées en utilisation les touches de fonctions programmables.
