The 6530 is going to be the only challenging piece. There is a product called "PowerTerm" that will do the 6530 emulation that your Tandem guys will be happy with. http://www.ericom.com
For the rest, use the native apps and functionality as Dave has mentioned below.

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: http://www.chowhouse.com/~james/x5250/ I haven't had a need for 5250 so I haven't used this myself, but this package is free and runs under Solaris: http://www.chowhouse.com/~james/x5250/ > 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 : > http://www.ericom.com/ptisol.asp 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. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
