[THIN] Re: Thin client devices

Depends on what your objective is.  For example.

I like the Wyse 1200LE for it's ease of use, ease of administration,
security, and cost factor.

The Wyse 1200LE runs an 500KB Unix Kernal.  This device can grab it's
config from an FTP Server and TCP/IP parameters from a DHCP Server (can
be the same box).

A typical scenario would be to setup a DHCP Server and FTP Server.
Create your config file and copy it to your FTP Server.  When the 1200LE
boots (in about 2 seconds) it grabs its TCP/IP parameters from the DHCP
Scope and the scope has information pertaining to the config file.

No information is stored on the device!

Imagine if you had to change 2000 devices...simply change the config
file.

To broaden this concept and allow multiple configs simply create
multiple directories with multiple config files.

You can define your config files to connect to a specific published
application or desktop.  You can force a login or allow the user to
input a login...

This device greatly reduces your TCO to the organization at a price
point of $299

(No-I don't work for Wyse)

Can someone provide me some information on how thin client devices =

Prices on these things seem to range from $300 to $800... What's the =
major differences?  What's needed?  Thanks.
