Hello:
I would like to pose the following question:
We are getting a couple of NCD brand color X terminals that will
come with 8 MBytes RAM each...We would like to hook them all
up to a Sparcstation 2 which is currently running OpenWindows.
i. Can the NCD terminal handle OpenWindows? What about font
support? Anything strange with this?
ii. The NCDs are supposed to have a local 'Motif-like' windows
manager. Would that have any problems running clients from
the Sparc 2?
iii. Has anyone done this?
iv. Can three NCDs with 8 Bytes each be hooked up to a Sparcstation 2
that has 64 Mbytes? These terminals will be used mainly by people
who are doing simple terminal connections and simple graphics.
v. Any suggestions to improve the performance of such a system?
Thanks in advance for any and all information. Please email to the
address below, and I will post a summary.
