The IACC and IEE Clients may be run on any Windows machine natively. [Does 
require software to be loaded.]

The IACC and IEE Clients may be accessed from any Windows machine using 
Terminal Services if the host machine is a P91. [Does not require software to 
be loaded.]

The IEE, IACC, and IEE Clients and may be accessed from Solaris 8 and Solaris 
10 machines if certain software is loaded. Solaris 2.5.1 might still be 
available as a platform for this software, but I haven't checked it out in a 
long time. [This does require a purchase and an installation on the Solaris 
machines.]

Of course, the above applies to most Windows applications as well. There are a 
few exceptions - FoxPanels for example supports only one instance and that's on 
the host box.

Where does this fail?

yes, (ssh would be proffered, but since the current unix boxes don't
come with it installed, that would not be backwards compatible for
people w/ older unix systems, although it can be installed)

I meant any of the configurators: ICC, IACC, IEE. I would like for the
control configuration stuff to be accessible from any workstation on
the network. so that i do not have to have a dedicated engineering
station in each of the control rooms. there are lots of things that I
only fell comfortable changing in the actual control room with the
operators present. I currently have this with unix, but I think i
would lose it if we went to a windows IEE type system?

and that has spoiled me. I like being able to get the ICC from ANY station.
