i have a client who needs to run a relatively simple DOS application that will host a service to his clients. someone came in and quoted him about $6000 for a citrix solution running on a Win2k Server platform. i figured i could do it much cheaper w/o all the overhead and headache with a FreeBSD box. 1.) a simple dos application needs to be accessed 2.) the user will only have access to this application when they connect, and the session will terminate when the user terminates the application 3.) the connection needs to be secure. i was thinking of using a DOS emulator... but i don't know what else to do. i'm assuming i'll need either a thin-net setup... but what free tools are out there that will work well with FreeBSD. however, if it's possible, i'm not impartial to running this appliacation over a https connection either. intially i was looking at VNC, but it seems that VNC will not allow for independant multiple user sessions. i also need the trafic to be encrypted. vnc will do this, but it requires two freebsd boxes to encrypt/de-encrypt over a public connection. my client will not want to require his client to setup a FreeBSD box on their network, which will alter the existing network structure. any recommendations on the best way to set something up? as always, any thoughts, suggestions and any other sort of help is greatly appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
