Hi Eric.
I've never used one of these exact Winterms, but I'm familiar with a couple
other Wyse Winterm products. If it's consistent with others I've used/seen,
the protocols it supports are only controlled by what they provided on the
NT embedded (or Windows CE) disk image. (EG. The RDP protocol wouldn't be
something in the BIOS itself. Rather, they'd include the RDP connectivity
as software pre-loaded as part of the NTE build on the flash "disk on chip"
in the unit.)
The Winterms I've used have PXE boot capabilities in their BIOS - and
attempt to boot with Intel PXE protocol before timing out and starting up
their NT embedded image. Therefore, you should be able to make them work
fine with LTSP if you configure LTSP to use PXE.
(I think all Winterm thin clients rely on PXE like this, because their NT
based administration software takes advantage of DHCP and PXE to allow
remote re-booting and flash disk image updates to the units.)
You can even disable the internal "disk on chip" completely from their BIOS,
and they usually have support for standard EIDE hard drives. The ones I've
used have a laptop style IDE drive connector on their motherboard, and I've
gotten one to successfully boot from a laptop drive.
