Thus if your applications are running on a Sun system you run the Sun terminal you require on the Sun and display it on the X server (which may well be Cygwin/X on a PC).
I suppose you might be wanting to telnet to a remote Sun system using an existing Cygwin terminal window running on your PC, in that case I think you are out of luck. I suppose what I'm suggesting is that you run cygwin/X and use xdm to display your Sun desktop on your PC, then you can have Sun terminals as you want. For what it's worth I have used Solaris platforms for development for many years but I weaned myself off the Sun proprietory terminal emulators very early on. I've standardised on rxvt (which is essentially an xterm without tektronix graphics) and find that there is very little I can't do with that. What do you need sun-cmd or dtterm for? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
