i have an idea. this might come as a shock to you but, use a computer, use an actual notebook. if youre going to tether yourself to an ethernet cable at work or at home, there is no point in getting a portable internet device that costs as much as a low end computer, wow

An X terminal is anything but dumb. It's as smart as the network that it's connected to. The graphic capabilities of your 770 are 225 dpi. That's five times the resolution per inch as a 17" LCD at 1280x1024 resolution. It has integral wireless network discovery, bluetooth, and an integral touchscreen. Dumb terminal is the LAST way you would describe the 770.

At work we do have 802.11, however, we're using some type of proprietary Cisco thing. Unfortunately, this means that only specialized cisco cards with the key already on them work with our wireless network. I've asked why but I'm just given an answer of "security". *sigh*
So, while at home I wouldn't have a problem connecting to the net, does anyone know if the unit is capable of using a USB Ethernet device? Is the capability even in the kernel? This way, though I can't really carry it around, I can at least plug it into work and use it sort of like a "third screen" and have it pop up my news, etc. without taking up valuable normal screen realestate.
