I wonder what the performance will be like under NT terminal server? I
assume the cpu in the epods is the problem?

I think you may have a problem here, On the I-Appliance board they talk
about the Video capabilities being very poor, nowhere near as fast as the
IPAQ, i.e.more like 5 FPS ?

I hope this isn't the case, but even if it is It's still going to be very
useful.
