I didn't get as many responses as I'd hoped for, but enough. One person
suggested one route would be a PC or NCD Xterminal, which takes PC devices,
since there's a greater range of such devices for the PC world. Since that
brings up network issues, I didn't follow that up.
Another person said SunExpress once offered Logitech devices. I think there
may once have been a Logitech device for Sun, since I was referred to them when
I originally researched this question a couple of years ago, but I didn't get
anywhere. It was probably discontinued around that time.
A current SunExpress offering is a Mouse-Trak trackball by ITAC Systems
(wouldn't you know, the SunExpress catalog arrived the day after I posted).
Looks nice, but we went another route.
Through a friend of a friend, I located RC Labs in Sunnyvale, CA
(408-732-1986). They handle the Kurta tablets, and a Sun interface is
available. We have ordered one, but haven't received it yet.
