RE: Thin Clients ?

["Buzz Fenner" <bfenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

We've been using them for around 10 months using 5250 emulation & serving up
Windows desktops through Citrix Metaframe & WIN200 Terminal Server.  Not
being too well grounded in TS, that end of things was a bit tough
(especially printing issues trying to direct output to printers hung on PC's
running Client Access Express).  But the 5250 end of things has been pretty
good.  One word of advice, whatever vendor you look at for TCs, test one
first and beat it to death in production because all the different ones we
tried behaved differently as far as display device management went.  We
probably qualified as a beta site for the product we finally bought, since
we had the vendor come back to us with numerous builds of their software.
In fact, even IBM's TCs didn't behave like the old 5250 workstations.  HTH.

Hi Folks

Is anyone using thin clients instead of dumb terminals or PC's ?

If so, who's, what's the setup, etc. would be appreciated !

Thanks,

Chuck
