| 1:	how well does this scheme/product work?

  Very well.  I'm using one right now.  I like it a lot.  The only down
side is that it only 14" 800x600 pixels.  They've just come out with a new
21" 1240x1024 (approximately -- I don't have my notes with me.)  We're
scheduled to take a demo of it, but haven't seen it yet.  They've also
come out with a new compression scheme that supposed to be even better.

| 2:	The hardware that graphon uses is comparable to a PC, is there 
| 	a comparable scheme/product that is essentially terminal emulation
| 	software?

  No.  Unfortunately.  I've been hitting on GraphOn extremely hard on
this issue.  Give them a call at 800-GRAPHON and hit on them too.  The
more people they have asking for it the sooner they'll do it.
