No, I am not trying to sell you anything, in fact if you own the Enterprise
edition you already own the licenses.
I am trying to share useful information about server based computing. Your
question was framed in the context of "my migration from Metaframe XP FR2 to
PS 4.0 on W2K3" and then asked about replacing the emulator. I am trying to
point out to you that this can be also be accomplished using Citrix, which
is after what this list is based on.

Steve,
Are you trying to sell me your product or answer my question about the 2
products that I mentioned in my previous post?

Bruce,
Your original post did not mention desktops so that could change the
equation. However, it still makes sense to install PS on HP UX because then
the only client software required is the ICA client, it uses less bandwidth,
easier to configure, etc.. When you factor in the desktops though the cost
may or not make sense depending on what you may for the per seat emulation
software. I know it may seem backwards, but this approach is really a much
better to get UNIX sessions out to non UNIX clients...

You may have misunderstood my question. I am not looking to install PS 4 on
Unix, I am installing PS 4 on Windows 2003 Server. We are looking at
replacing our terminal emulation product, WRQ Reflections, which is
installed on the windows server as an application. A couple of products we
are looking at for replacing Reflections are Ericoms Powerterm or Seagull
Software Bluezone. I was looking for feedback on either of those two
products. The same product would be used on any enduser that has a desktop,
non citrix. We have about 325 licensed user for Reflection at the moment.

In this scenario you install Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (PS) on HP UX
and then publish the local native terminal you need on that system. From the
PS server on Windows you run the ICA client to access the HP application.

It's HP, what is PS? All my end users are on WYSE 1125 SE or S10's and I
publish a locked down desktop.

If the UNIX system is Solaris, IBM AIX or HP UNIX you can run PS on it
natively and access it with ICA !

Hello all,
In the process of planning and testing for my migration from Metaframe XP
FR2 to PS 4.0 on W2K3.
We currently use WRQ Reflection for our emulation product to connect into
our UNIX business system. Works fine, we had to do some monkying with the
different emulations to get the best performance, ended up going with VT220
and remapping some of the function keys to get everything to work. The cost
of it, licenses and maintenance, is getting to be too much and certain
endusers still complain about it.
Two that we have come across that fit the bill as far as cost and emulation
( would like to go back to WYSE60) are Ericom Powerterm Lite, and Powerterm
Interconnect and Seagull Bluezone.
has anybody used any of these and have any opnions on them? good and bad.
I'm looking to getting one or two of them setup and test before Briforum so
I can come prepared with more questions if I need to.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
