Thin clients for AIX desktop
Hello,
I've been on Sun gear for years, using Sun Rays. With the news that Sun Ray is to be discontinued, I've taken an interest in researching other thin client solutions. I'm interested in using the thin clients on Solaris/SPARC, but also in future, quite possibly on AIX.
So, what simple thin client solutions are there to permit a graphical login on both server platforms? I just want a regular CDE desktop, no Windows, no Citrix, no VMWare. Basically I want a Sun Ray for AIX.
The AXEL AX3000 looks very simple, but also very old. I don't need much performance, so really a VNC client in hardware would do!
Thinlinc looks great, but the server is only for Solaris and Linux.
Love to hear some ideas.
Cheers
Garry

HISTORY
The cas driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1. NetBSD support was added in NetBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
The cas driver was written for OpenBSD by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@openbsd.org>, based on the gem(4) driver, and ported to NetBSD by Julian

BUGS
The cas driver does not support any of the advanced features of the Cassini chip.
On the SX fibre variants of the hardware, the link may stay down if media options apart from autoselect are chosen.
