Terminal Emulation
Terminal Emulation
Greetings.. I'm looking for some thin clients to replace our current ones (WYSE S10)
The only requirement we have is that it is able to connect directly to our Linux server in order to run a legacy application on our company.
With our current S10's we simply create a connection to "Terminal Emulator" (instead of RDP or ICA) and set them to boot directly to Linux prompt.
All the user needs to do is enter his credentials and that's it.
Does this newer clients have that option?? The clients we have currently run WinTerm, but I believe that's no longer around...
Any suggestion?
I'm just trying to figure out what models can connect to linux like what we currently use.
We don't need windows or any other embedded OS..
We are looking for model number of units than can be configured to automatically connect to linux as terminal emulators.
Our current thin clients boot to WinTerm... the first screen that is displayed to the user is the "Winterm Connection Manager"
From there we have created a new "terminal emulation" connection... and that connects directly to the Linux console. We then set that connection to be default and to auto connect.
When a user turns on the terminal the first screen they see is the "Winterm Connection Manager" screen briefly, then the connection is launched automatically and the next screen the user sees is the username/password prompt from the Linux server.
That's all we need... no Windows, no Citrix, VMWare no nothing... just a device that would allow us to connect directly to the Linux server via SSH or Telnet

JASS,
if all you need is terminal emulation, the least expensive option for you is the T50, which is Linux Ubuntu based thin client. WTOS devices DO NOT have Terminal Emulation capabilities, since you cannot install any add-ons on it does not have one natively. All thin clients include VMware, Citrix and Microsoft connectivity.

That T50 unit will boot to Linux then from there the user has to open the emulator and log to our server? Or is there a way to have the unit to automatically boot to our server prompt without user intervention.
Another question.. does dell wyse offer the same onsite support Dell does?
