- Hi all (again),
- We are currently performing an initial investigation into upgrading
- our present dumb-terminal based user environment to a X windows based one.
- We are weighing all the dis/advantages of PCs, Xterminals and workstations
- and look favorably at Xterminals from a maintenance standpoint. I use one
- myself and see no lack of functionality. We would like any opinions on this
- decision itself. And if we do go with Xterminals, then the question of how
- many Xterminals running off of how many Sparcs, Sparc2s, Solbournes, etc. We
- would like to hear about any success/horror stories about implementing such
- a configuration and performance issues regarding Xterm/Server ratios which
- seem to work well. These users will mainly be running Progress applications
- and some word-processing, news readers and email UAs.
-
- Thanks in advance (again), Kyle
