we are planning to propose our sun ray on Data Center Operation

replacement sw that can run on solaris (thus they dont need windows
license on pc anymore). Following are the sw they need :
Most of the stuff you're talking about is a no-brainer in the UNIX
world.
1. Putty (terminal emuator telnet unix)
Comes with Solaris...open a terminal window and use ssh or
telnet. This is the native "real thing", no "emulation" is necessary.
2. Win6530 (terminal emulator tandem)
I don't know about this one, but surely there's a free one out
there. It's not THAT obscure.
3. Hummingbird / mochasoft ( terminal emulator mainframe)
For 3270 or 5250 protocol? For 3270, the x3270/c3270 package
works great under Solaris, I use it all the time on Sun Rays. It has
been in widespread use for many years. It is free. It can be found
here:

I haven't had a need for 5250 so I haven't used this myself, but
this package is free and runs under Solaris:

4. Exceed (terminal emulator )
For running X apps?? Solaris systems implement that functionality
natively...there's no need for such software, X apps will "just
work". They'll work better, in fact, than using something like
Exceed, as this is the way they were designed to work in the first
place...again, no "emulation" necessary, as you're running "the real
thing".
I found this terminal emulator :

Looks nice, but it's commercial and costs $159 per seat...why pay
for something when there's been free stuff out there for decades
which does the same job, and probably does it better? This is the
way most things have been done in the UNIX world since day one.
So, basically, with the possible exception of the Tandem stuff
(and I just haven't researched that), much of what you need is
already built into Solaris, and you can get everything else for free.
Feel free to contact me directly if you need assistance
implementing any of those systems.
