Hello group:
I want to know your experiences on using Terminal emulations and X
servers.
I have been using netterm for terminal emulation on character mode and
Reflection as X server.
I didn't need to use ssh.
I have seen that ssh improves security and you can even use x-windows
through a ssh connection using putty and any X-server (X-win32).
Does anybody use this?
If so, what terminal emulation and X-server are you using?
Thanks in advance.

While you can do this, and I have done it using Hummingbird's eXceed X server.
However, I'd like to suggest an alternative that will give you what you want in
one package, and offer further advantages: VNC.

Take a look at http://www.realvnc.com.

The commercial version of VNC (which is cheaper than eXceed or Reflection/X)
has native 128bit encryption, so there is no need to tunnel X through ssh. In
addition, X is "fat" application with lots of data sent over the wire, so
performance can be poor. With VNC, the X server actually runs on the server
(what a concept!) and you access it with a viewer app (vncviewer). The VNC
protocol is "thin" so perfomance is good even on very slow connections. The
viewer can be disconnected without killing the server. This allows you to keep
an X desktop and connect to it from various workstations - a very useful
feature! One other thing is that ir requires much less configuration than your
average X server for PC to have it up and running.

Anyway, I'm not associated with RealVNC in any way, I just really like the
product.

Kevin I appreciate your help.
I have downloaded the server for hp-ux and the client for windows and
it is very easy to configure and run.
Just one question, is there a posibility to run the CDE?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, there is. In our environment, we use Linux to run teh desktops, so I
didn't think about CDE.

You will need to modify the file used to start VNC sessions:
$HOME/.vnc/xstartup. It probably looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &


Change it to this:

#!/bin/sh

xsession=/usr/dt/bin/Xsession
[ -r $xsession ] && exec $xsession

# Fall back if the script wasn't readable or the exec failed
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

If CDE was working for you before, this should do what you want. You'll need to
restart vncserver to see the effect.

Also, if this is what you want all users behavior to be, you should copy that
xstartup file to the /etc/vnc directory. Its copied to that users' .vnc
directory on first run of vncserver.
