the newest flash is the best yet but we still have problems. I refuse =
to pay for Rapport. It should be included. We do use Remote Admin to =
flash (and try it first) but we have found it is only a short term fix. =
It will start happening again after a day or two. Flashing them via =
laptop seems to do a better job. Either the problem goes away or it at =
least stays gone for a month or two. If we get a unit back three times =
in three months, we replace it with a Neoware.

Why won't you use remote admin or rapport to manage your WYSE thin =

it would be much less of a headace than flashing via a laptop. We had =
this
problem and we upgraded firmware and it went away....

That certainly sounds like a different problem than power.

it is the same behavior at all four locations I support. Those =3D =
locations
are spread around the state. I even had one at my house for a =3D while =
that
did it. We've thought about power problems but we are in =3D health =
care and
none of the other electronics have any trouble. None of =3D the other =
brands
of terminals have ever had trouble either. Just the =3D Wyse terminals.
Generally it starts out with a user typing along working during the day =
=3D
and the unit just blinks off. The next day or two it does it again, =3D =
then
it starts happening twice a day, then every couple hours. It gets =3D =
worse
and worse until they finally call up here in a rage of frustration =3D
demanding new systems. This is all over the course of a month or a few =
=3D
weeks. We keep spares at each location for just such an issue and then =
=3D
their bad unit makes its way here. We use a laplink cable to force a =
=3D
re-flash of the ROM image and then the unit is fine. Re-flashing with =
=3D the
software tools will sometimes do the trick but usually not. Doing =3D
it via a cable directly always works. Sometimes we never get a unit =
=3D
back after that, sometimes we see it a month later for the same thing.

Have you ever looked into the building power? I was at a company one =

that had a bad transformer on a pole out back. Computer monitors kept =

damage had been done.

it's the strangest thing with Wyse. Either people have nothing but =

We have about 2700 wyse 3320's in the field. They work fine. We are
currenting evaluating the 3125's. They run just fine. Now Rapport is a

We are using Wyse WT3360SE terminals and have not had any major issues =

with them. When we first implemented them they were frequently getting =

clears =3D =3D3D the config. Working like a charm now. :)

You might want to look at the ChipPc OpTC if all you need is ICA

Does anyone have any experience with Terminals other than Wyse? We've =
=3D =3D3D
had a high rate of failure of the Wyse units (various models in the 3000 =
=3D3D
series). I just ordered a 3125 to evaluate, but I'm more interested in
trying =3D3D another manufacturer. We strictly use ICA, so we don't =

appreciated.
