I think its software based. They are touting it as an option for people =
transitioning to thin clients that still have an investment in pc =
hardware.
Sure, you can do the same thing yourself pretty easily. They are just =
adding the remote management abilities and giving it an appearance =
consistent with their thin clients. I like how it has the ability to =
add a locally installed fat client app to the available connections. If =
I were moving from fat clients onto Citrix, this would nicely bridge the =
gap.

Is this a software or a hard / software solution? I can't tell from the
docs. If it's software alone you can get all the benefits (apart from =
the
remote management facility) for no cost, just by putting a little =
effort. I
have 2MB 486 PCs running a DOS client and 8MB P75 machines running a
re-shelled Windows 95 client very nicely.

I saw this on the Neoware web site. Interesting product to turn old fat =
=3D
clients into thin clients.. I think NCD has something similar and there =
=3D
are a couple of third party vendors that do this too.
For Neoware users, this is supposed to integrate with ezRemote Manager =
=3D
so you would then manage them along with your other thin clients. They =
=3D
mention ezRemote Manager Portal edition but I have no idea what that is =
=3D
all about.
More info on their web site:
