the last ones i bought from HMR at 2.9k with color 14" analog monitor. 3.1k kung 15" digital. it has about 16-64mb ram, you need about 12mb for X ltsp. cpu is p166. there are many brands and you should choose brands you are confident about based on you experience since these are second hand terminals. i prefer Digital since i have broken compaqs, intels, acers, etc... but the Digitals rock. Harddisk is some 2gb which i disconnect for less power consumption. The floppy drive should be working since that is what we need to boot the ltsp workstation. i usually swap bays of the floppy and harddisk so students can't steal the ltsp boot diskette. test all the keys of the keyboard and mouse too from HMR! then i buy 100mbps lan cards, cnet from pcxpress has the tulip chipset which works well in linux. and has a lzdsk image in rom-o-matic website. > >> there are a lot of text UI framework/API/widget sets around. the one we >> use was written by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (tables,lists,simple >> menus,buttons,labels,etc...) in c/c++ > > Does this use ncurses, slang or direct console calls?
