Tom here... Actually I don't know what the users want <G>. Prior to this thread, I didn't realize there were so many flavors to this requirement.
Not that going to their PC and seeing what they want to run, will do me any good. It all looks like garbage to me. But I will try to start them out with a connection that represents the lightest load on the mainframe and esclate from there. Hopefully, the first user doesn't need the most resource intensive flavor. The first thing in, that works, usually is the one that gets replicated even when a much "lighter" solution is available.

But I got the impression from the thread and Tom's question that the user had certain expectations. For example, a Sun can play the XDMCP game, and so can any PC based Linux box. ZSeries Linux can do this too, we're just more cautious about where we throw those expensive MIPS. -- R;
