[THIN] Re: WYSE 1200LE

Folks, I have been holding my tongue on this, but I cannot any longer. 
Our Organization has dumped Wyse both the 1200LE and the 3235. We have 
an install base of 85, but are expanding to 400-500. Out of the 85 we 
had 11 fail on us and had to get RMA's. Also be advised that if you want 
to do local printing you need to purchase a "Wyse" usb to Centronics 
printer cable list price at about $45. Futher, I had to pull all of my 
1200 LE's because of a problem with their firmware which cannot do DHCP 
requests to our DHCP server. They had a fix for this which resolves the 
DHCP problem but causes display problems with XP FR2. We also had some 
latency issues on the 3235's whcih had to be fixed with a firmware 
upgrade. Lastly, Also take into account that Wyse's return policy is 2-4 
weeks after you return the bad unit which you have to pay for shipping. 
For an additional $19 per unit you can enter their Advanced Replacement 
Program which you then get next day shipment of a new unit to replace 
the defective one.

We have switched to a thin client called the Xxtreme PC from a company 
called ChipPC which is comperably priced with the Wyse's and is working 
well for us. Their SNMP software which manages the devices works well.
