Actually there is a reset button; or at least the ability to put one in.
If you open up the Wyse and look on the cpu board you will notice a pin
labeled "RESET".  Grounding that pin will do a hard reset of the
computer.  I added a pushbutton to the back of the computer and wired it
to this pin, and whenever I locked up the system (not too often) I
simply pushed the butten.
