Let's keep the terminology accurate. An X-emulator does not give you a
NetView client. To have a NetView client you must install NetView code for
that operating system on the box which runs the client and connect it via
the Tivoli gui to the NetView server.
What you are talking about here is an X-client (not a NetView Client) which
duplicates a telnet session with an exported display and does not offload
any GUI function from the NetView server. In fact, it increases the load
on the server.

Subject: Re: Can you have a NT Client with AIX Server ??
However, if you must run the NV client on a NT box. You can use a
X-emulator such as EXceed from Hummingbird, or Reflection X, or
Extra??. It provides emulation for must common Unix platforms, AIX,
HP-UX, and Solaris.
