Have a look at www.ltsp.org.
You can use a diskless standard PC as an X terminal booting across the
network from the foxboro box.
They are quite easy to set up. The site explains how to boot the
terminals from another PC but the boot files can just as easily live on
the Sun box.
If you want some more info just holler.
