The Microsoft Windows "Terminal Server" is not the same thing as a classical "terminal server" for serial character-cell terminals. The Microsoft product is server software for a proprietary thin-client display protocol. Companies such as Citrix, Wyse, and Bryant Computers* make products that use this Windows Terminal Server facility to connect to Windows NT/2000/XP servers. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.os.ms-windows.nt.admin.security References: <0Bi49.4080$lP6.513028@e3500-atl2.usenetserver.com> Message-ID: Organization: Shaw Residential Internet Date: Thu, 08 Aug 2002 03:34:31 GMT From: Trevor Rickards Subject: Re: remote access to a workstation "widge" wrote in message news:0Bi49.4080$lP6.513028@e3500-atl2.usenetserver.com... > > I am new to networking and need help.

"The one cent brigade" http://m1.mny.co.za/mnscaps.nsf/Current/C2256A2A0052D69F42256A82004F49EF Posted: 2001/07/07 Sat 16:00 | Moneyweb 1997-2002 Bryant Technologies was suspended by the JSE between February last year and January this year due to allegations of misstated accounts and irregular share dealings that led to the resignation of the entire board of directors. The company admitted that sales had been overstated, the 1999 results were restated and two directors paid fines to the Financial Service Board's insider trading directorate. The JSE reinstated the stock for trade after it released results for the year to June 2000 in January. The new board said at the time this year's numbers would show losses again, but with improvements coming through in the second half part of the year. Bryant's flagship product, the Sunnix thin client terminal, ran into numerous technical problems when first launched and last year's numbers contained an audit qualification that its ability to continue as a going concern was "dependent upon the company being successful in its product repositioning and market acceptance of the product being sufficient to restore profitable trading". The share was suspended at 9c and since being reinstated, has dropped further down the penny stock ranks to the current level of 1c, where it has remained since the middle of June. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.security.ssh References: Message-ID: Organization: Prodigy Internet http://www.prodigy.com Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2003 07:26:06 GMT From: Betelgeux Subject: Re: Using PUTTY to access win98 box Nathaniel wrote: > > I have networked my two home computers.

As a telnet service it is incomplete and add to that the fact that a bare bones Windows 9x system doesn't provide much utility at the comand line At least nothing I would want to leverage. Windows 98 is architectually different than Windows NT/2000/XP so various useful console-based utilities that provide system information, e.g., the PsTools suite from systernals.com, have little or no context there. A better bet would be to use VNC: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ VNC gives you a remote view of your GUI desktop. It's like sitting there from afar. -M ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.terminals NNTP-Posting-Host: 68.15.113.229 NNTP-Posting-Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 17:56:04 +0000 (UTC) References: Message-ID: <1144259759.012971.114940@u72g2000cwu.googlegroups.com> Date: 5 Apr 2006 10:55:59 -0700 From: jimcripps Subject: Re: Terminal Recomendations?

This should be no problem for IBM 4695-xxx, although it's a touch screen. There may also be some issues with graphics displaying higher than 16 colors. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
