OTOH it will talk Telnet, SSH, rsh, rdesktop, X.11, you name it. A cheapo USB dongle gives you RS232, or wired Ethernet, or whatever you want. It's Android but it runs Linux, so it's a decent-keyboard-equipped totally flexible device which will talk to pretty much anything ever. Run DOS or Win98 in an QEMU or some other emulator and some odd proprietary 1980s/1990s client software, whatever you want. Pocket VAX with SimH. Pocket mainframe with Hercules. Pocket NeXTstation or SPARC or PowerMac or Novell Netware server. Anything. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
