Are you creating dumb terminals or telnet terminals.

Dumb terminals
	I have done this to XTs in the past and all I did was get a boot disc
and put telix on them and ran it from the autoexec. These were connected via a
serial cable (null modem) to the terminal server (Linux).

Telnet terminals
	I am still trying to do this but I am stuck with two 360K FDDs per
machine. You will need the LSL.COM, NIC driver, ODIPKT.COM and a copy of
NCSA Telnet for dos. Thsi will load the drivers for the NIC and then run a
telnet connection through the network to your servers.

Any problems email me...
