Yeah, I had a feeling that I had a problem. I knew that it would be easy to continue to access the UNIX machine using the method you mentioned, but their UNIX machine is a 486, it actually has pieces falling off of it, and they haven't been able to get the backup to run for 2 years!!!!! They really need to get rid of it. I would be glad to let them continue to use UNIX with a new server, but - as I said - they have this new program that requires a Windows or NetWare box. They also don't want to shuck out the money for two new servers.

So there is the problem. Anyone else with a suggestion?

Would a simple Linux box on a workstation be the answer? Would somthing like that be able to provide access to the program in such a way that the users wouldn't hate it? There are only about 20 people in the office who are using this program.

I confess to being a UNIX newbie, although I've connected a lot of workstations to existing UNIX setups.

ttytype

TTYTYPE(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							TTYTYPE(5)

NAME

       ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping

DESCRIPTION

       The  /etc/ttytype  file	associates termcap(5)/terminfo(5) terminal type names with tty lines.  Each line consists of a terminal type, fol-
       lowed by whitespace, followed by a tty name (a device name without the /dev/) prefix.

       This association is used by the program tset(1) to set the environment variable TERM to the default terminal name for  the  user's  current
       tty.

       This  facility was designed for a traditional time-sharing environment featuring character-cell terminals hardwired to a UNIX minicomputer.
       It is little used on modern workstation and personal UNIX systems.

FILES

       /etc/ttytype
	      the tty definitions file.

EXAMPLE

       A typical /etc/ttytype is:

	      con80x25 tty1
	      vt320 ttys0

SEE ALSO

       termcap(5), terminfo(5), agetty(8), mingetty(8)
