Thanks Fred..
I Apperciate your answer, even though this is off topic as Pat pointed out.
Just thought there were some pretty knowledgeble people here that could give
some input on my find,
and know way more than I about Thin Clients.
Although I guess these do not classify as "Classic or Unique", I'm still
having fun with them (Grin)
I did find on eBay some more TC-5000 Thin Clients with RDP 5.1 installed.
At $40 each a little pricey just to play and learn on, but I'm in to deep
now to quit..
Telnet to Unix and Linux is a big plus also...
Thanks again..

233Mhz CPU,
32MB RAM, 2-Serial, LAN, and VGA.
Running Windows CE..
Nice! I use a few of those (not the same brand, but thin
clients)
and its nice and quiet :)

No.
(2) Would it be better to upgrade the Internal
ROM to the newer version
($50) that has ICA, Plus RDP 5.1 ?
Yes. That should also get you Telnet, so you
can connect to
UNIX and VMS hosts in text mode.
Cheers,
Fred
