How much are you being charged for IBM's thin clients?

As I remember they were very reasonably priced when I did the first roll 
out of them in europe (using Linux as the management platform as this was 
before they were officially available when I started).

I also used a Linux box with telnet to access the AS/400 without any 
problem.
