When you say remote terminal, do you mean wireless? I think you can get
vt100 emulators for palm os , so if you just want a serial console that'd
do you...

I've got a mobilepro 800 I use as a wifi xterm , which has a 9" screen and
a full keyboard, but with the cf card and the wirless nic i didn't get
much change from 250 quid after shopping on ebay.

a palm would be about 50-60 UKP.
