...a reasonable 'thin client' the Neoware Eon Preferred 2000e - MediaGX could be described as a generic Personal Computer, admittedly with a relatively modest specification, but PC nonetheless! I came about using a Neoware system from almost entirely the opposite direction from most people. The unit is marketed primarily as a 'thin client' - the 32Mb ROM allows a linux-based terminal emulator to run which can connect to a number of hosts using standard ...
...emulation, 5250, TV100 etc. The applications run on a host server, and all the client does is do the media presentation stuff.
