Doug, I know that IBM recently licensed ICA from Citrix. I also have read that they did some tricks on their AS/400 to get it to run Windows NT apps. (Although just how a "green screen"-based server does that is beyond me). What I'm trying to figure out is if IBM is preparing to drop it's dependence on WinCenter Pro to deliver MS apps to customers. I know that WinCenter Pro adds features familiar to your traditional Unix (X-Windows) customers. (Our SAs at Motorola have been testing it to make sure it works with NIS+). WinCenter would seem to have a solid customer base with Sun users. Basically, does NCD still perceive strong customer interest in WinCenter? You recently said something about WBTs being the big driving force behind this "fourth wave", and I see no support for X-Windows in ThinSTAR. (BTW: Is STAR an acronym?) Perhaps X-Windows is old enough that it's time for something new. The primer I read on T.120 (http://gw.databeam.com/ccts/t120primer.html) was interesting. What are your thoughts. Jim
