Honestly I thought it was hard to configure because until I used Linux, my X terminals didn’t need to be configured at all!

I may be misremembering but I think my NCD terminal used bootp and probably a little tftp, then off it went. The hardest part was probably finding an Ethernet drop to plug it into.

Now - get off my lawn!
