We are seeking for information on terminal devices which
will connect directly to thin ethernet, in order to
access unix systems.

We are aware that terminal servers can be used, but are
hoping to obviate the need for these on small sites.

We are using TCP/IP protocol on the network, so the
terminals will need to be compatible with this.

Clearly cost is the important consideration.

Example:
                      Dumb Terminal        Dumb Terminal
                           |                   |

Thanks in advance
