After seeing Ian King present on the efforts going into preserving these
systems at the last HillGang meeting... I am pleased to state that my
family is looking forward to visiting this museum next week. Depending on
how the rest of our week looks, we might just call this trip our Paul
Allen tour
We have a product one of whose components is written in C; on Intel Linux we've
always built just 32-bit apps for both 32-bit & 64-bit systems because there is
little if any penalty for running a 32-bit app on a 64-bit system. Other
hardware differs: Itanium for instance, when we supported HP-UX

(Of course, you'll be running on a 64-bit kernel in most cases, so
getting a pure sample will be tricky.)

If this makes into ncurses / PuTty, think of the implications.
We could GO BACK to a TRUE heavy server and just terminal emulators.

You can already accomplish something similar with xrdp and desktop clients, or
any of the dedicated terminals from Wyse or others that do RDP. If you want to
see a working example, come to VM Workshop. RDP is well optimized for WAN use,

The rdesktop implementation running on the terminal IS an emulator. RDP
