Not sure a VM on a *nix desktop will work - sounds like the problem is network level access between the servers and clients. A linux box would still have the same problem and the same level of access as a pure windows box.
If tunneling is the option that linux gives you, there are options just like that for your windows machines as well. /David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nancy Anthracite Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Vista without CPRS You believe you will find documentation for the non GUI version of CPRS in the www.va.gov/vdl web site right next to the CPRSGui documentation - CPRS List Managers Version is it I think. John Zimmer is a fan of the non-GUI interface as I recall. CPRSGui did not come into existance until the mid-90s to my knowledge, so you won't be much behind the times. I gather you have tried various VPNs, or do you have one already that isn't cooperating? How about Win4Lin, or VMWare run on Linux? The VMWare is $165 and I believe Win4Lin is $80. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of CS Wagner Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 10:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hardhats-members] Vista without CPRS It is becoming clear that we cannot use CPRS with our network security. Is it possible to effectively use Vista without CPRS? I can easily set up SSH accounts for each user so that gtm starts when the login. I assume that setting the primary menu in Vista will change what they see once gtm starts. I just don't know what menus to give the different people (nurses, providers, clerks...). I also haven't found user's documentation. Everything is directed toward the administrator/programmer, not the average user. So, I'm afraid I'll have to set aside a lot of time to write documentation while I'm trying to learn what to do. What I'm trying to get done right now: * Have a provider SSH in and immediately get to a patient selection screen where he can view/edit patient info * Give nurses the same menu - is there any function for a nurse to hand-off the patient to a provider without having the nurse log off and having the provider log back in and select the same patient? * Have clerks SSH in and immediately get to a screen to add patients or schedule visits for existing patients. If I can get to that point, my history has included years of making graphical front-ends for telnet/ssh menus (written in Cobol and/or Ada). I will be able to do the same for this without the loop-back security headache of CPRS. -Shaun ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
