I use an HP4000C that I bought refirbished off surplusdirect for $800, runs DOS and Telix, makes a great terminal. Specs: o 486DX4-100 o 8 meg (expandable to 32) o 540 meg HD (~480 usable, the rest is for the 'hard sleep' partition, where it writes mem to disk before the battery dies). o 640x480 color LCD, I don't remember the type of LCD (dual scan, etc) but it is perfectly usable in 'text' mode. -- Michael Parson Systems Administrator SMARTNAP Corp.
