If you know of a smallish VGA LCD, that'd be great.  I myself have
nothing smaller than about 12", larger than my Planar ELT-320
terminals.

I like it because you can show up on site with just the pocket-sized
box and a wall-wart, and use available resources (kb and monitor)
rather than hauling them around.  Also, as a bonus, it'll work with
many KVMs for longer-term installations.
