I'm not even sure what this person wants. His (see message body) message was not appropriate for my private mailbox and not for debian-x either. Maybe he wants a consultant? If so, maybe one of the readers of this list can help him. ----- Forwarded message from Brittany Mosher <brittanymosher@home.com> ----- From: Brittany Mosher <brittanymosher@home.com> To: branden@debian.org Subject: X Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 10:31:03 -0700 Delivered-To: branden@localhost.deadbeast.net Delivered-To: branden@deadbeast.net Message-ID: <39F9BBD7.524099C5@home.com> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en]C-CCK-MCD (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en I'm looking into building a state of the art X terminal. I need X terminals, but I just can't find any an am willing to build one. I have pretty good design and manufacturing contacts in Singapore and Malaysia, and application software which requires nothing more than X terminals which can boot up to client applications which sit on the net's fibre. What I don't have is a network of people who know the X software side of X terminals. Historically, we have used the NCD Explora terminals (which feature lots of BSD software), but NCD has no interest in updating their 1995-era products or lowing their prices. I'm particularly interested in a SOC, system on chip, hardware solution. The application software is commercial, but I'm interested in making at least parts of it free. It runs on AIX, BSD, SCO & Linux. It is based on X, includes turnkey vertical market apps, a touchscreen GUI, a rapid development framework and is strictly built on the X Windows model where every user simply needs an X terminal, and not on the `Every user needs a Linux computer' model. My current frustrations are with the fact that, in spite of what is going on at handhelds.org, Microsoft has successfully strong-armed all of the companies which are building X terminals out of the X terminal business in order to be given the right to build Windows thin clients. I know LOTS of people who would buy a modern day X terminal if it were simply available. This is what I intend to do. Our client application hardware is set up using Debian, btw.
