Steve, You can't rlogin into a windows box. You will need to look at a Citrix type solution for the engineers - a server based solution for the PC world. The option would be to look at a Linux platform - the power of PC hardware - and the ease of use of a Unix - did I really just say that? - of the command line/interface.

We are currently running on UNIX servers. They are going to replace them soon. Cost wise between a UNIX server and a PC workstation it is pretty much even. My supervisor wants to know if switching to the PC workstation version would be beneficial. We only have 3 board designers. The engineers rlog in to the servers to use Concept. We have 8-10 engineers that use Concept though only a few at any given time. Any thoughts or opinions. Thank you.
