Stuart,
This looks really interesting. A hardware vnc client based on linux.
Everything you need except a monitor. $200. WOW
I took a look and I didn't see VNC among the software that comes with it.
They talk about Netscape, and of course you can use that to see the vnc
server, but I got the impression that the standalone vnc viewer was also
part of the deal. Is that true and they just don't menion it on the
website?

When this topic came up a month ago, it led to some discussion about the
NIC, the New Internet Computer, from the New Internet Computer Company.
This was a bit off-topic because the original post was about a VNC server
and the NIC is a client.
The NIC is a $199 box that is a prepacked, ready-to-go Linux system. It
comes with Netscape and VNC and a variety of other "client" applications,
including Citrix, VT emulation, etc.
I have completed my evaluation of this product for use with our system. I
love it. We will be using it as a "zero administration" dedicated VNC
workstation. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a dedicated VNC
workstation, or VNC + Netscape.
The process of setting up the device is the simplest I have ever seen.
Your
grandmother could pull it off (especially if Grannie maintains a DHCP
server).
Details: $199 includes the following
- PR 300Mhz Via Cyrix processor
- 64 MB RAM
- 8 MB Flash memory
- 24x CD-Rom (it boots from CD)
- USB ports (2)
- Serial ports (2)
- 56K Modem
- 10/100 base-T Ethernet
- keyboard
- mouse
- speakers
If you look carefully at this list you will note the monitor is not
included, nor is a hard disk. Hard disk is not needed and is not
supported.
I made some slight modifications to the stock CD so it automatically starts
VNC and gets the VNC host IP address from a file in flash memory. I would
be glad to share those modifications.
