AIX->Win2000/XP?
Here's the setup:
IBM RISC/6000 server running AIX
The server currently feeds 4 dumb terminals and 2 pc's via multiview 2000 software emulator.
Now, the server is about 9 years old, and need to be replaced. There is not enough money to buy a new IBM AIX server to replace it, and I need to know if it would be possible to relace the server with a windows based server, linux based server or OS X based server. And if so, could anyone provide any links to information regarding such a migration. Ideally the new setup will be 6 new PC's running the multiview 2000 emulator, and 1 windows server feeding the program to the pcs.
anyway, thanks for any help, and if you need some more info, let me know and i'll reply back.
cheers

bup-server
bup-server(1) General Commands Manual bup-server(1)
NAME
bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship
SYNOPSIS
bup server
DESCRIPTION
bup server is the server side of a remote bup session. If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.
There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.
MODES
smart In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository. If any object already exists, it
tells the client about the idx file it was found in, allowing the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
This is bup-server's default mode.
dumb In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object. To avoid writing duplicate objects, the server
will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the start of the session. This mode is useful on low powered server hard-
ware (ie router/slow NAS).
FILES
$BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above. This file is not created by default in new repositories.
