I doubt very much they will ever work as X11 thin clients.
Googling reveils the HP machines to be generally called "NetVectra"
machines - nad they seem unsupported by Linux:
http://www.linux.com/howtos/HP-HOWTO/hp-hardware.shtml
The reason is probably that they do not load a system off of the net,
but has a system hardcoded in ROM. At least that seems to be tha case
for G210: http://www.cmpnetasia.com/PrintArticle.cfm?Artid=7089
The cmpnetasia article also describes WYSE terminals as "super-thin",
which smells like propriatary protocols hardcoded into the machine.

Some Citrix product, it seems. The cmpnetasia article mentions the
following product in relation to G200: Citrix WinFrame 1.6, 1.7, and
MetaFrame.
