The box has a configuration screen that allows me to set the
following:
1) Input - keyboard (repeat speed), mouse (left/right handed),
double click interval, touchpad, etc.
2) Display - resolution, screen saver, power saving mode, etc.
3) Network - static vs. dynamic IP, gateway
4) FTP - to online download update for flash.
5) Printer - select COM1, COM2, or LPT with printer connection,
select printer driver (a small set of printer vendors
are listed)
6) Web access - proxy, name server, some IE properties. I don't
know if the box provides local browser capability.
If it has web access setup, it might support local IE.
7) Password - local password protection to prohibit unauthorized
connection login. This is more like a BIOS password.
8) Program director - a way to specify what program to run on remote
server after login. This is good for some single
application terminals such as travel agent,
point of sale, Kiosk, etc.
9) Dial-up - select COM port with modem, baud rate, phone number
to dial, login user name and password.
The best analogy to Unix world of this box is a turn-key X terminal.
It has all the components needed to boot up and receive remote Windows
output and pass input device events back to remote server.
LTSP is "thinner" since the kernel is loaded from remote, the display
server is run from a remote mounted file system.
