Hi, 
This is going to both SUN and HP lists so hopefully I can get comparative 
feedback. Scenario: pair of SUN E420r and pair of HP L2000s. The people
up the food chain want a single terminal to act as console for all four 
servers. I'm not interested in console switches at this stage. I only want 
to know of gotchas to do with keyboard mappings, function keys, VT 
emulation characteristics etc. An HP terminal is already on order but I know 
they have a design all of their own. The question is if anyone has already 
tried this, "would you recommend trying to run a SUN using an HP terminal 
and vice versa?"
On a personal note the key layout on the HP terminals drives me nuts
but it's someone elses chequebook. ;-)
Cheers
Joe
