- Always check that they do not run their Server code on a
- host instead of in themselves. Some use a proprietory
- serial protocol.
- Also they may have a screen which is small ie 1000x700 and
- generally turns out to be smaller than your expectations.
- They may try to overcome this by having a scrolling mechanism
- but I have'nt had any experience of this.
