Some have telnet support built into rom for troubleshooting.
I believe the HP does vt100 telnet emulation and has some setup in rom.

They're pretty nice. They should run
1024x768 SVGA's without too much
problem. They use an keyboard that looks like an HP PS/2 keyboard.
I don't know where you'd get the software for it -- perhaps HP still
supports it or makes it downloadable from the net.
It should take standard X instructions from damned near anything, be
it Solaris, HP/ux, AIX, Linux or even AT&T Unix. Without docs it
might be tricky to set up the networking -- that's one place where X
terminal manufacturers never got even close to concensus. But the
ROM should have the needed X-server code.
