This page discusses various configuration
suggestions for your host computers that affect the way the ViewStation
operates in your environment.
Correct operation for the
ViewStation often requires availability of some host services, such as
file transfer protocols for font loading, XDMCP operation, Domain Name
Service, etc. Although the ViewStation's requirements are not special
(there is no requirement for installation of special software on the
host, only loading the HDSware files), many operations of the X terminal
will fail if there are problems with the host configuration.
These
suggestions for your host system configuration are just suggestions.
Consult with your system administrator for details about your host
configuration and procedures implemented in your environment.
