We started changing over to Ethernet Terminals before IBM announced the
Enterprise / Standard pricing #$%^.  We purchased CLI's ET2000 which have
5250 and E-mail but no browser.  The ET3000 has the browser I do believe.
We like them a lot.  We purchased the big keyboards with all the function
keys of 5250 terminals.  They use standard VGA monitors.  Very low power
consumption on the emulation unit and they are small.  I am starting to look
at Wyse which offer a 15" LCD monitor with the emulators built in.
Hopefully when the new Power-over-Ethernet standard is finalized, they can
build these thing to be powered by the ethernet connection.  Can you imagine
that, only one wire to your terminal, wireless keyboard and mouse.  Clean
desk top I foresee in the future.

Hi Chris,


In your reply to Fergal you mention "Do you have many 5250 terminals? If so,
start thinking about replacing them.  I like ethernet terminals with
imbedded browsers."

Are you folks using this stuff ?

We are a distributor and the vast number of our devices are dumb terminals.
PC's have come down in price but are still hard to justify in certain areas
(not to mention software licensing.) so I'd appreciate any light you could
shed on this !
