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. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Lewis 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 !
