WINFRAME PC to PC SERVER, UNIX to PC SERVER MULTI USER on NT 3.51 based server
The server is a modified version of Windows NT 3.51 Server. The clients are the same ones used by MetaFrame so any client platforms supported by MetaFrame are also supported by WinFrame. METAFRAME PC/UNIX/OTHER to PC SERVER or to UNIX MULTI USER The server runs on top of Windows NT4/2000/XP/Unix servers. The clients run on a multitude of platforms including Windows and WBT Clients (Win32 for Windows 2000, Windows NT. 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, Win16 for Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, Windows for Workgroups, Windows CE), Handheld Devices (WinCE,PocketPC,EPOC), DOS Clients (DOS32,DOS16), Web Clients (ActiveX. Control, Netscape Plugin, Java), UNIX Clients, Linux, Solaris SPARC and X86, Compaq Tru64, HP-UX, IBM. AIX.,SGI, IRIX., SCO., Sun Workstations, Macintosh Client, and OS/2. Both WinFrame and MetaFrame are licensed on a concurrent user basis. If you have 1000 users but only 15 at a time, you only need 15 licenses. That's it. That's all... at least as far as Citrix is concerned. However, in the case of MetaFrame on Windows NT based technology, Teminal Server licensing conditions apply on top of the MetaFrame licenses (see below). WINDOWS TEMINAL SERVER PC/MAC/LINUX/DOS to PC SERVER SINGLE USER on XP Professional MULTI USER on NT4/2000/XP servers The server is available as a modified version of Windows NT 4.0 Server. As of Windows 2000 and including Windows XP (server editions of both), this feature is now included although you need licenses to use them. Licensing is on a per user AND per machine basis. For example, if one user uses two machines to access the server, you need two licenses. If the user is not connecting from a Windows NT family workstation, you will need a Windows NT workstation license for each user. Then you need the client access license (CAL) on top of that. The clients run on a few platforms, but is only supported for Windows (32-bit) by Microsoft. Support for Macintosh is available from http://www.hobsoft.com, Linux/Unix from http://www.rdesktop.org/, DOS from http://www.terminal-services.NET and Linux from http://www.thincomputinginc.com/winconnect/ (added from Alex and Glen's posts). There used to be a VNC to RDP proxy called rdp2vnc which would make VNC clients work with RDP hosts however I can't seem to find it any more. A good overview comparison between Terminal Server ICA and Teminal Server RDP is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/evaluation/features/rdp.asp. Be sure to read all the footnotes. Keep in mind that this only includes features up to Windows 2000. I could not find a similar page on Windows XP (ok, I only spent about 30 seconds looking). VNC *ALMOST* ANYTHING to ANYTHING SINGLE USER on most platforms MULTI USER on UNIX. There are so many platforms supported, officially by AT&T and unofficially by other, that I would rather send you to the following two pages. Keep in mind that the server is not necessarily available on all platforms: VNC download page http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/download.html VNC on other platforms & environments http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/platforms.html NOTES: SERVER, also known as HOST, is the machine you are taking over. CLIENT, also known as VIEWER, is the machine being used to view the host screen. Hope this helps...
