using linux for xterm interface

[Richard Darling]

I use text terminals on our system, but tried an exterm product for SAM; it was Reflections. I liked it, but it was expensive. On the forum the other day someone mentioned using LINUX. Could someone give me an A-Z picture on how to do that. And I do assign points...when this ?*(@#@$% sight is working properly. Thanks...

at linux you could open an xterm, login to hp box via telnet/rlogin and set the TERM variable for teminal based application

TERM=xterm ; export TERM

or user xdisplay redirection for graphical application

DISPLAY=:0 ; export DISPLAY

and then type

sam

Don't for get to enable client access control

linux#xhost + (well... man xhost!)
hpux #export DISPLAY=linuxIP:0
hpux #sam

You can also just xdmcp broadcast, but you
then loose all the flowery window managers.
