Situation:
I have 600+ clients on Windows desktops. Each connects to a mainframe data application via IBM Personal Communications 3270 Terminal Emulation over telnet (ugh!).
What I know:
x3270 works on a RHL 8 server that I use as a testbed. I know that I can use x3270 on this machine natively. Securing the communication channel over SSH is very possible and most definitely preferred over telnet (ugh!)
What I need to know:
To reduce licensing costs (a goal of my employer!) I can foresee deploying access to the x3270 application via a Windoze X client.
Simplicity in deployment is key. Installing cygwin and running X on 600+ machines might be to difficult and would face serious pushback. Trading one license cost for another (e.g. Hummingbird) should be avoided.
Any ideas?
Help me entrench Linux just a bit more and promote OSS. Thanks!
