Hello All-
Several years ago, (back when workstation running the unices/linices were $$$$)
I worked in an environment with lots of NCD X stations.
NCD made a fine product. As I recall you had to boot over the net but that has
probably changed.
One thing though, This REALLY increases the load on the network, esp if doing
X-intensive applications. Of course, word processing or other typical office
tasks are pretty light on resource demands. So... that will probably not be a
problem, especially at 100 Mb ethernet.
