Hey OLUG-peoples:
Back in the day, they weren't "thin clients" but "dumb terminals."
Anyways....
PCSurplusOnline has some IBM "network station" devices for sale for $27.
http://w2.pcsurplusonline.com/viewprod.cfm?ID=1562
Here are the specs:
Processor: 66MHZ PowerPC 403GCX
Memory std/max: 16MB / 64 MB
Graphics Supported: 1024x768 256 colors
Onboard Ethernet: 10/100 NIC
Onboard Audio: Integrated Support
Ethernet, Keyboard and Mouse Ports
Operating system: X-Windows server support
Supported Language: US English
My question to the list is as follows: does anyone know what all it takes
to make these things work, as in run remote X sessions and/or tty? If
shipping weren't $20 from these guys, I'd have risked the $27 just to
satisfy my curiousity.
