That'd be a great way for hiking hams to take xastir into the woods.
What I'm thinking about is the kind of thing that would fit in well
with ad-hoc EOCs.  Something analogous to an Xstation.  I have an old
NEC Xstation -- all it needs is a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and an
Ethernet connection to a device that can provide it with a bootfile,
and it's good to go.  A small box that runs on car batteries and has a
plug for video, sound (for direct radio connection), serial (for TNC
connection) and USB (keyboard, mouse, Ethernet, future expansion) that
boots off of Compact Flash.  No moving parts, low maintenance, easy
upgrades, inexpensive.  That's what I'm gunning for.

Jack.
(someday.)
