I have a "user" that executes only telnet 3270 for a cics application running on MVS (ibm mainfraimes with tcp). the FreeBSD machine is a 386/dx40 with 200Mb of disk and 8Mb of memory, an ne2000 card and a slip connection to the master site at 38kbps. The machine uses a proxy server (cached) to service http & ftp and a socks5 to server the telnets. This machine has 40 windows in the ethernet side... and performs very well compared to a solution using sna/tcp. The hole "thing" was setted up in 1 week. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.
