Hi.
I'd just like to ask if anyone has tested any
of the web (browser) based VT-emulators available ?

My employer uses Reflection-web from Attachmate (formerly WRQ). They
did not have anything directly available for OpenVMS so we bought 20
licenses to run on a Solaris box. Continuous users still use a pc-
based client while occasional users use a browser and Java to connect
to the Solaris box; the Solaris box makes a telnet connection to our
OpenVMS box.

It is very fast and our users have no idea they are being diverted to
the Solaris box. I "think" you can use a Windows box if you don't have
solaris etc.

The Reflections-Web is a Java application.

We used it in some work we did where we had a training system on the web and
offered access to OpenVMS as part of the course. Since we could not expect
people to have an emulator this was a good option. We also offered
information on where to download public domain terminal emulators which are
not brower based.

We were happy with the Reflections-Web emulator.

It also went by "Reflections for the Web-VT".

I do not have a working version of it right now as it seems like it is
sensitive to versions of Java - possibly some detection code in the old
version which is not really necessary and probably gone now.

So it's not a true telnet client ?
It must have some special server part to work ?
Or, if not, what is the platform specific part ?
