I don't think so, for the lower package details Sun offers 25 Rays, a 
E250 with 100mhz and 256mb more than my U30 with a single fast 
ethernet connection. They don't do gigabit till you get to 100 Rays. 
Now that is dedicated among the Rays but on my network I don't 
think one Ray should be too much of a problem and if I had to I 
could wire up a direct connect between it and the U30's onboard 
ethernet.

I know people who can get me Sun Ray software so that ain't a 
problem. A SS20 is more exspensive, louder, uses 13w3 and has a 
bigger footprint.

Hrm, what's the proper name then for the lunchbox X Term? And 
can't normal SS4s be used just like the X Terminal 1? Maybe you 
have to change the machine ID in OF...
