560 AS/400e System Handbook
The IBM Network Station Manager allows the IBM Network Station to execute Windows
applications on an Intel-based server, with third-party software such as WinCenter Pro for
IBM Network Station, available from Network Computing Devices, Inc. The entire program
runs on the Intel server. However, the monitor, keyboard, and mouse functions are redirected
across the network to an IBM Network Station. Users can access the entire suite of Windows
personal productivity applications and eliminate the demand for occasional users to install
Windows-based clients at their desktop. It is not expected that a large number of concurrent
users would be supported on an Intel server in this manner. Contact the third-party software
supplier with questions regarding Windows applications. Further information on the IBM
Network Station can be found on the Web at:
