I guess it's somewhat off the original subject, but I am wondering 
Walter, if your users will also be running filePro sessions via 
gnome-terminal, xterm, Putty (for Linux) or other, from their desktop 
back to a server running linux filePro?

I've been doing that very thing at numerous locations for several years 
but have never been completely happy with the emulation. Therefore, I am 
interested in what others are doing for filepro users in terms of 
terminal emulation for users running Linux desktops.

I suppose the answer is that many of you have build web based front ends 
using Mark's OneGate for example. I don't feel I have the time or 
sophistication for that.
