Re: Retail Terminal with NO Windows

Actually I never ran into issue with twinax...

But then again, I never used it without star running it over UTP using a
baluns and a "power panel" from Black Box Corp.

In fact, I've still got some twinax terminals/printers in the
warehouse...been there since 1996. Those are going to have to be replaced
we we move off our Power5 box... :(

Or, a whole lotta IBM I boxes at the checkout lanes. Actually, I like
that idea <grin>.

And what Larry's saying, I believe, is that in your case, you have
i/OS, Android, Mac, Linux, and Windows as attack vectors.

Okay, so you're suggesting connecting the magnetic stripe reader

directly

to an IBM i Power Server? Can't trust any OS on the front-end? What

sort

of

UI requirements might a POS terminal support?
