[VoIP] Asterisk on Wyse Diskless 941G "Thin" client terminal

[Don Wisdom]

The wyse thin clients ive messed with were really lacking in the processor
department.   They basically have enough processor to display the video that
is sent to it from the Citrix server.   All those systems work in similar
fashion to the old unix dumb terminals.  Basically that means that all the
processing is done on the Citrix server and the video is put out on the thin
client.
