I routinely access a Windows Terminal Server via vanilla X-window
connections on OpenVMS by means of Citrix Metaframe and NCD's
WinCenter/Unix Integration Services. It is proving to be quite an
improvement over the old NCD WinCenter (Multi-user NT v3.51), which
tended to hose my DECwindows session. Unfortunately, I don't have access
to the full complement of UIS features since there are no OpenVMS or
DIGITAL Unix versions of the Unix-side code, but I do at least have copy
and paste capability between X and NT sessions. Very nice solution,
albeit a somewhat pricey one by the time you add all the extra products
up (not to mention having to have an extra server box). Too bad
SoftWindows for OpenVMS fell by the wayside...
