Well as some say, a thin client can't be all things to all people.  I some
cases, you just have use a fat client.

True.

Some machines would need a USB hub, as we run parallel printer, serial
printer, serial scale, as well as keyboard mouse, etc.  

Not the end of the world, but extra crap hanging off the machine to go
wrong.

You could use a serial -> USB or parallel -> USB adaptor, could you not?
Extra cost, but if there are no other options...

Sucks for them, no legacy, no sale.  We are evaluating the T20 for some shop
floor, but with the scales, scanners, and printers, have to have legacy
ports.

I think Compaq (Wyse really) are giving up on legacy ports. I'll be starting
to look around for alternatives soon as well.

Interesting that Compaq nor the reseller did not mention this.  I need this
one, as it has the serial ports.  What is the replacement?

Oh, and I wouldn't rely on the T1010. They're end of life and hard to get.

How do I get to the BIOS.  These demo units did not come with squat for
documentation.

Computer name is set in the terminal BIOS. Everything else is done at the
server end and is the same as for windows client sessions.

I am evaluating our first think clients, Compaq T1010 and Evo T20.

Any good documentation on configuration?  I want to be able to policy the
machine, remove desktop icons, change the computer name and such. 

Any help is appreaciated.
