While not something I'd choose, one option for new customers is to 
interface to users via web server.

I haven't looked at it, but WASD has, I believe, a browser based 
terminal emulator.

I don't think my idea is popular, but, what I'd consider is a WEENDOZE 
client that can be closely coupled with VMS apps.  The user interface 
could be fed from the VMS app, or be a WEENDOZE GUI app which is part of 
the overall app.

Just some options.
