Message-ID: <1991Mar30.182703.28836@cbfsb.att.com> Date: 30 Mar 91 18:27:03 GMT Sender: news@cbfsb.att.com Followup-To: comp.unix.sysv386 Distribution: na Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 15 What are people using for multi-user systems nowadays? UNIX on a 386 or 486 base is a given for me, but I need to settle on terminals vs low-end PCs. Curses for UNIX apps is probably sufficient, but what about DOS apps on these Terminal/PCs? Is anyone networking PCs to central UNIX systems as dual function Remote Terminal/local PC? What about the fiber based graphical networks? Anyone out there using these things? I generally work with large systems (Vax class and larger) and don't really have the experience in this area to answer these questions. Thanks in advance, Martin Zam (201)564-2554
