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. i need two things. i need a simple and stable DOS emulator... and i need a simple and stable thin client setup. 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. is there anything that works well with FreeBSD that will allow for my client's clients to connect to a FreeBSD server over a secure connection to access a simple DOS application? 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!?
