Using telnet puts a 32 - 48 Meg RAM requirement on your server for each
additional user of the NetView GUI, depending on the release level and functions
used.  This is what is offloaded to the NetView client - you are shifting that
RAM requirement to another box.

Subject:  Client verses running X




What are the differences between running a client and running X back to your
Display?  Does it make for less resource use on the server?

Any comments?

Thanks,
