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

thin clients

Hello, I am responding to you inquiry for newer clients. We just acquired 4 of r90lew, 5 of v90lew, 6 of c90lew all windows embedded and 2010 models.

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.

The T10 thin clients are compatible as far as I can see.

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.

The T50 can be setup to automatically boot to the teminal emulator. Dell offers customization services, but does not have technicla support on-site. You may want to go to www.wyse.com/support for the support options, and to www.wyse.com/manuals and search for T50 to take a look at the documentation for the T50.

Thanks for replying.

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?

Thank You for the response

But to connect directly is not as easy as you are supposing..!
It may work but not surly because there are many restrictions..!

Only me..!
