Hopefully someone from one or both of the supplying divisions will see and respond to your note as well. >1) If I spelled the manuals right, I understand it is possible to have > VUE run on X-terminals. Anybody confirm this? Yes, and it is very easy to do. If you have VUE on the server that the X-terminal(s) boot from I believe the X-term will get VUE by default. >4) Some people here have had ill experiences with X-terminals and > Suns; they could not reconnect properly with their servers after > students rebooted their X-terminals, creating headache for the > system administrator.
