We put together a DOS client and used it on a few machines. Setting
everything up was a major pain but once done it worked mostly OK. The main
problem we had was the performance of local client printing, which was
pretty dreadful. Switching to the w9x based client cleard that one up and
also allowed us to share printers with other users.
I have the full DOS client we made as a ghost image if anyone wants to look
at it. I think it's about 2MB zipped and 6MB unzipped. I'm sure MS won't
mind too much.
Regards
Angus

Why not use the DOS client? We just install lanman onto the DOS PCs and the
wfcdos32 client, put the appropriate lines in the autoexec and they are
away. My users are logging on to a published desktop.

Hi All
I'm after some advice. I have Citrix XPe running well, being accessed by
WYSE terminals and PC's.
For the older PC's I would like them to work in a similar way to the WYSE
terminal - eg setup a default connection, you turn the PC on and it
automatically logs on to that Session.
I am looking at Linux with rdesktop as a possible way to go, but details I
can find are very sketchy. If anyone has done a similar thing, I would be
very interested in hearing your solutions.
Cheers in advance
Matt
