I subscribe to the same theory. The 802.11 spec at 11 mb sounds pretty good but
I don't have the $ to play with it yet. If it works I can see the little X
terminals all over the place.

we can sit out back in a lawn chair every now and then, but I much prefer

Gustav,
You've gotten a lot of replies about new hardware. I didn't see anyone
come out and say it but I think that yes, you're going to need actual
terminals (or some nifty box that turns a monitor+kbd+mouse into
one). Then the issue of connection to the basement depends on the
terminal.

wired it apropriately - all rooms wired with 2 cat5 cables, all hoem run

Corel had a Linux terminal setup called Sidewinder. Each terminal has a box
connected over a LAN to a minicomputer running Linux. The company was spun off
and called Corel Computer.
They are now called Rebel.com at http://www.rebel.com and the product is now
called Netwinder.

Yes typing things on the command driven thing like terminals is so good. I wish
people would stop using GUI and like Microsoft users get rid of Windows NT WK,
Windwos 98 95 and use DOS( Microsofts most stable OS)

You can also check www.solucorp.qc.ca/xterminals and
www.solucorp.qc.ca/virtualfs. the later provide a solution to access the
floppy, cdrom and sound card on X terminal from the application server.

Hi, Gustav!
I haven´t seen it "in person", and I do not know if is supported by Linux,
but there is a gadget called "pc buddy" that let you connect an extra
monitor and keyboard to your system and get it working as terminal.
Hope this helps.
