I got a Unix SCO Server and an application written in old Cobol that runs on
some PC with win98 under an emulator and in multiple tty terminals that
actually boot under ms-dos, establish the connection with some script at the
server and run the application.
The idea is to change the server to Windows Server 2003 with a SQL Server
DBMS, the client PC will probably run Linux, and the application will be
written probably in Kylix.
For that PCs there will be no problem of changing the system because of the
graphical interface and the characteristics of that PCs.
But the question is how to run it at the old terminals (at the time some of
them still are 386 computers). They are old PCs that cannot be upgraded, the
best i think it can be done is add some old disk, install a linux version,
do not run a graphic interface and run a kylix console application from
there. But the formerly option, to boot under diskette in linux an run the
console part of the application from the server will probably be the first
choice.
Plis the only question is, if this is possible, and some line of work for
doing it.
