I have a VMS workstation.  I have 3 old X-terminals on the ethernet
that are used to run an app on the VMS workstation.  The X-terminals
are very user-friendly, you just power them up and they display the
login display from VMS.  The users need a friendly system.

But the X-terminal are no longer supported by Tektronics.  When they
die, there is probably no way to replace them.

I need a replacement for these 3 X-terminals, just as user-friendly.
We have some PCs that I can use if I can ever figure out what software
the use on the PCs and how the heck to configure VMS.

Thanks for any help you are anyone else can provide.

I have xcursion but I have never used it.

We have been using X-free and use it in other applications, but it is
not configured to be user-friendly for starting up.  I pretty much
need something that will just pop up the login screen when it is
powered up, if possible.
