Kevin, Is the configuration for the NCD Explora X-Terminals the same as the NCD 900. IF not could I trouble you for the configuration using the NCD Explora X-Terminal.

We've trialed a few embedded Linux workstations as replacements for the NCD x-terminals and they work well but are expensive for what you get and support is minimal. We have GoGlobal for use on Windows PCs, primarily because it's lower bandwidth than other alternatives from Solaris 2.5.1 workstations -- the low bandwidth is important for engineers being able to use over dial-up connections from when away from the plant. I anticipate trialing NX or FreeNX on the Solaris 8 (and 10) workstations later this year, as a low/no cost more feature rich alternative to the GoGlobal.
