You may want to take a look at these pages:

Btw, you can easily expand the memory of the x-terminal. I am using one
right now (HP Envizex p series, with an A1097c monitor) running netscape
and kde with a picture in the background. I used some old 8Mb simms from
an old 486 machine to upgrade the x-terminal to 24 Mb. It uses standard
SIMMS.
