Dean & Scott,

Could you folks write-up how your RH Linux server and telnet clients are
currently connected, perhaps with diagrams showing which direction the
samba print shares go and the which devices the pass-thru printing
controls?  Then the whole list can discuss ways of transitioning your
existing Win98 telnet clients to Linux + SSH.

Brian,

Do you remember what the server side of that SCO based cash register
system was called?  The POS system currently being used by Pricebusters
is an SCO application running in Red Hat Linux with the Unix
compatibility kernel modules.  Perhaps your experience with that or
similar systems may help us in figuring out how to make a complete
conversion from Win98 to Linux on the client side.

Thanks,
