Remote terminal

[Bob Hartung]

There are vendors of dinky little PCs for tight, hot spots. I looked at them for an application but it didn't work out but I was impressed by the selection. Here's a link to one that had a pretty broad selection of options.

     Thanks to everyone for the input.  
     But what is cost effective?  We have been using a laptop intermittently,
  but it generates too much heat to run it all day in our small, poorly vented
  receiving area with no AC.  There is also too little space for a recycled
  full-size PC, though I could probably screw a laptop to the wall behind the
  monitor.  The laptop we are currently using occasionally for this job is
  always in the way.  The keyboard is on a pullout tray along with a trackball
  (takes less space than a mouse.)
     I'm not so much looking for a pre-packaged solution as for a tiny little
  computer with some standard connectors on it and which I can load with Linux
  if it isn't already there.  
     Thanks,
