<P><FONT SIZE=2>We are in the process of switching over from HP X-terminals to the
NCD900. The installation of the Software on the Sun box is a little different
than the HP stuff (it's not in the package format). What questions do you
have??</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The NCD rep wasn't too helpful. He might have been more help had
I known </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>what he was talking about re: preferred thin client
architecture, virtual </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>machine type, etc... Probably means I'm in over my head.
I told him I just </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>want an x-terminal and x-server software I can use on a Sun box
running </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>solaris 2.5.1 -- he's going to get back to me...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>NCD's web page shows the NC900 (network computer) as the replacement
product </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for the Explora line. NCBridge is their software to
match.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Hi all,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> We've been using NCD
ExploraPro and later the NCD Explora 400 units</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>as</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> x-terminals on our I/A
system. NCD has advised that they are no</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>longer</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> manufacturing the Explora
line, so I've got to find a replacement.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> We are using these NCD
Exploras as x-terminals because of their</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>small size,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> no moving parts and high
mtbf rating -- excellent performance in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>grungy</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> environments. NCDware
software made installing these almost as easy</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>as</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> plug-n-play. We saw
these as superior to using a PC with an</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>emulator for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> reliability reasons and
superior to extra WPs for more obvious ($)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>reasons.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I'd welcome any info on what
others are using for x-terminals or</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>other</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> alternatives.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Regards,</FONT>
