Is this the same thing?

Sounds like an x86 pizzabox (same size as VT525?) that runs Windows 3.1
and
probably just runs a terminal emulator app? If so, doesn't sound too
exciting.
Responding to my own first reply, after reading the linked description
further it boots its software from ROM instead of just being a generic low
end Windows 3.1 box so that somehow makes it seem more interesting to me.
Built in DECNet and LAT support in addition to TCP/IP would be useful for
connecting to DEC boxes too.
Anyone have one of these that they use?

the only thing I saw in the listing you pointed out is that the video
sucks. It would be adequate to usable for text, but graphics, not so much.
