I could just as easily use a Wyse terminal or a Mac - as long as it can translate what comes down the wire to stuff on the tube, and sends down the wire event messages from keyboard and mouse, you can use it with thin client.

I was just passing along info... upgrading the OS on a few Win3x machines would be a lot cheaper than buying all the licenses necessary for Terminal Server/Metaframe and a server to run it on. <bg>

The scenario we are looking at would be a hardware and software upgrade. So the TS solution will be cheaper, and we may not have to use Metaframe (that is a hundred dollars a seat or so savings).
