Has anyone tried setting up a 386 or 486 with 8 megs of memory or less as a
dos vnc client to a ltsp server? I have thought about this and wanted to
try it for some time, but I havent had the chance.
The citrix dos client works great on these machines. So it might help get
around the low resources on them the same way. It probably could be done
using freeDOS so there would be no licensing issues this way either.
I have all my ltsp servers running the vnc server as well, so that I can
get to them from my workstations easily. It doesnt seem to interfere on
the servers either.
It works well even over a 64k link. So this might help the guys trying to
get out of putting in a server at a remote office (if there links are
EXTREMELY reliable and consistent.
If no one has done it, I might dust off a 486 from storage and try it. Any
one interested in the findings?
