Well... The title says it all, pretty much, but perhaps I should babble and describe my situation... I am wondering what other alternatives to Digitals Pathworks exist, if any. Hopefully if anything exists, there will be something that falls into PD/shareware/freeware! Why? Pathworks for my particular desires comes to about $1500, when you add in the VMS software and the OS/2 software... Ive got an Ethernet card in my PS/2 already, so the physcial connection is no problem... At the least, Im looking for a term program that will allow me to use the Ethernet line as a simple terminal session, if possible? At least, this way, I can test out the connection and use it until Pathworks arrives at my site (which may take months; we are a government office, and the wheels turn VERY slow. I was suprised to get the Ethernet card in as fast as it did...) Or, at the other end of the spectrum, would be something that offers a similar function to Pathworks. All that fun stuff, like client/server, etc etc... Like I said above, I would really like it to be free :-) Or at least cheap enough that I can pay for it out of my own pocket (and take it with me when I leave!). Any ideas? Please reply via e-mail, and if I get enough responses, and a suitable solution, Ill post a summary if anyone wants... Thanx!
