Re: From VMS to NT

Also, check out citrix (www.citrix.com). They have a broad range of terminal devices who hook up nicely with Win2000 on Terminal Server. Note that, according to Oracle, Terminal Server is NOT supported in Win2000. For NT4, only 8.1.5 is recommended. I personally would highly advice NOT to use 8.1.5, but go for 8.1.6. We've done plenty of tests on 8.1.6 with Win2000 and TS, and haven't found any problems (yet :-)
