It would seem possible to use a PC as an Xterminal. Is there any work
being done in this area?
If anyone knows about this I would like to hear from you.
Thanks

It happens all the time.
X -query <hostname> IF the host is running XDMP.

 
 
 

1. PC Xterminal software to boot diskless onto AIX?

Greetings,
    I have a customer with some low-end 486 PCs.  Rather than part with
them for something
from this decade (which would be my choice), they would like to use them
as diskless
Xterminals.  They have an RS/6000 that could be boot server for them.
    I could use some recommendations.  What we are looking for here is a
software package
these PCs could boot from a floopy, then boot into the RS/6000 as a
Xterminal server.  From
there I suppose they would run CDE desktop?
    What they really want to accomplish is to be able to run a terminal
emulator, Netscape, and
a couple other apps from these PCs that have no disks in them.
    I know that even an older Win95 PC with an internal disk would do
this by running Netscape
and terminal emulator locally, and it would not cost too much money, but
this company wants to
do it for almost NO money.
    Any suggestions?  If you could email me your reply as well as post
it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
John Schneider
