Hi Carlos, If you look at l-ane POS, it has a ncurses based text only interface aside from a TCL/X based one. We also plan to deploy this in one of our clients. In fact, we'd go all the way using the Linux Terminal Server product, so the POS machines will truly be 'thin diskless clients' running a fully functional POS application.
