Alex,
That Mobil Workstation was pulled from the product lineup in January I
believe. I had several interested customers down here, and when I
asked I was told that it had been discontinued because of low sales,
and that COT solutions were available that weren't fundamentally
different so we would no longer offer a Foxboro branded solution.
Out of curiosity, have you ever tried VNC on an I/A system? I see
there is a VNC client for both Palm and WinCE, and a VNC server for
Solaris 2.5.1. I imagine a Handspring Visor or PocketPC with a
wireless ethernet card running a VNC client would be a pretty
convenient tool.
Regards,
Kevin FitzGerrell
