- My current hardware configuration is:
- IBM RS/6000 model 320
- Datability Vista Terminal Server (ethernet-attach)
- Wyse 60 terminals
- Assorted printers
-
- I just found out that my company plans to open up warehouses out of state
- in the next 2 or 3 months, and of course they want terminals and printers
- there.
-
- If it was just terminals they wanted, I would just give them PC's with a
- modem running ProComm. But I don't know how to handle the printers. I
- have toyed with the idea of faxing their reports to them with a fax modem
- (which I don't have right now, but this would give me justification to get
- one :).
-
- I don't know enough about what is involved and what is possible to even be
- able to ask intelligent questions right now.
-
- I would gratefully accept any and all suggestions, comments, ideas, flames,
- information, etc. If I have to make a recommendation without knowing all
- the different options, I could find myself in hot water later.
-
- Thanks for anything you can send my way.
