If you are running the "new" version of Citrix, Metaframe, which runns on microsoft's Windows Terminal Server, it supports Client Access. The problem(?) with the first versions of Citrix was the fact that it was running on NT 3.51. There are some Telnet clients that you can run on it and they include PowerTerm and I think the RUMBA products. I got IBM Graphical Access working on that version of Citrix. It worked ok as a stand-alone telnet. You just have to copy out the pieces parts needed. Bryan Dietz 3X Corp.

Or running the netstation 5250 part in conjunction with Citrix? Because we've been running the 5250 part since the netstations were in beta. There are pros and cons. Pro is that the netstations had named sessions long before Client Access. Con is that we have an open problem where this sometimes goes a little flaky. Telnet5250 products that we've been looking at, to run on the Citrix server, do not currently support named sessions. Yes, I could probably do that with the exit point programming but I was hoping to avoid that.

I trust this a newer version of the product IBM recommended in the early days of the Network Station... I put this in a customer site about two years ago and it proved to be a disaster.. I will say, that IF you only run pc apps., it will run quite nice, but when you throw the IBM version that does the 400 part, things went down hill very quickly... They were putting out PTF's on a daily basis... The Network administrator portion was where all the problems came in.... BUT.... just pc apps and NO 400, it ran like a scalded dog.... You could run 5250 emulation pretty well, but when you mixed the environment.... strange things continued to happen... but that's what I get for bleeding edge stuff... I assume it's much better now.... the network station seems to have died down a LOT. Again... I assume this is the same product.... +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
