Re: [aclug-L] Network Terminals

I am currently using the bottom approach now (diskless) but I had thought
it would be neat to actually have a coupld NCD's or similar. Oh, well...
BTW, does anyone know of a source for XDM xlogin widget hacking? I know of
a company that made a really awesome hack on XDM for Web Cafe's and I
would like to check it out, but I don't believe in paying their very high
prices... FREE SOFTWARE! FREE SOFTWARE!
