Re: Network Station Question

Hi !

Yes, all correct for NWS maintenance hassle... If it e Ethernet cabling on
TCP/IP !
Newest NWS are also offering some other Windows like functions and/or Low
Pc User
can be served on a NWS with Citrix Metaframe Terminal Server....
Compared to a equivalent 5250 SNA can only be faster an cheaper to
maintain.

Regards.

Hi everybody,

We are setting up a small network, about 45 users.
Today we have about 40 "green screen" terminals. 35 of them will be
converted to PC's and/or Network Stations (thin client).
Due to its size, the AS/400 (model 170) will be connected to a Netfinity
server. The netfinity server will be connected to the world (ie
internet) to serve e-mail and allow web browsing to about 10 people.
Office 2000 will be installed on the PC's and Network Stations.

As a summary, we think we will have 10 PC's and 30 Network Stations.
Any restrictions or recommendations on Network Stations?
At the end, there will be no technical staff to support the network, the
setup has to be easy to maintain, and we don't want to take half-day to
full-day to replace a PC. With a Network Station it should take only few
minutes.
