I'm glad this worked out for you, but I have at tale about the Mfg. Several 
years ago I ordered one of this company's other products (NohrTec Multi 
Client). It took *8 months* to come directly from Bankok and it's X client 
never worked (RDP did work). It boots an embedded Linux from flashram and had 
clients for RDP, ICA, VNC and X. Too bad I wanted to use it for LTSP. I plan 
to re-cycle the chassis, perhaps burn Monowall or IPCop onto another flash 
drive (if I can use USB NICs for the 2nd and 3rd interface). Caveat Emptor.
