Re: 5250 and X11 capable thin clients

James,
I use the Igel ThinClients at my customers networks, they are cheap and
include a very nice central management server-application to make changes
to the configuration of all terminals from a single desk.
Look at www.igel.com and see the compact series models 332/364 for instance,
they include everything you are looking for. I prefer the Linux models,
but this is your choice, they run Windows CE as well.
I am not related to Igel, just a happy user of their products and their
support is great.

HTH, Philipp

I want to evaluate some thin clients (or terminals by their old name). I searched the archives and everything seemed to focus on MS Windows applications. I'm interested in 5250 and X11, particularly XDMCP. I've looked online at the Wyse Winterm 5455XL and it looks promising. Anyone used one of these? Does anyone know if the TN5250 support is more than just telnet (i.e. continuous field support, proper function keys)? Any other thin clients/X terminals I should look at? I'm not interested in running MS apps.

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
