Dave: I was involved in a similar project as yours using Dexterra http://www.dexterra.com/ development software. Dexterra specializes in applications for mobile devices. They are located in Bothell Washington.
For NOC monitoring, you may consider contacting CEO Tom Shaw and his team at WAMS - Wide Area Management Services at the following weblink: http://www.wams.com:8080/index.html I worked with WAMS to evaluate their NOC monitoring services. They may have some ideas for you,develop a budget and see what you need. The handhelds I got involved with are: Motorola Q Symbol (handheld devices) UTC Starcom (with pullout QWERTY keyboard) Motorola HC700 All ran the Windows Mobile platform. My clients simply wanted VPN access (SSH or whatever) to conduct diagnostics over their hanhelds. The beauty of Dexterra is that you can pre-determine your diagnostic screens to eliminate any typo errors. It will take some development on your part if you want true robost system. There is also Good Technology (which was bought by Motorola)...but they are mainly big enterprise. There are many enteprise companies seeking to do what you are trying to do. And not on a laptop but on a ruggedized mobile handheld. SO you are on the right track. Felix Lopez Utilities and Wireless --- "David E.
