Yes, absolutely.  Currently we need to utilize a third party
(Georgia Softworks) server and client to use filePro over a telnet
connection
to a Win2K/Win2K3 server.  Presumably, it would be more cost effective to 
use a third party client only.

Note that Georgia Softworks does offer a java-based client as well,
and this functionality is quite valuable.  With this, we can run the GSW
telnet server, and then put up a simple web page that allows clients
to connect via the Java client.

The GSW server does have a form of passthrough printing which does
work with filePro.  Not sure about PFPT, however.
