There are only two kinds of NT "clients" you can have for an AIX server running
NetView. You can use the web browser on NT, either IE or Netscape, to run a
NetView web client, or you can install an X-emulator and telnet into an AIX
NetView server or AIX NetView client. The NetView client on NT cannot connect
to a NetView for UNIX server, because the underlying structure is too different.

Subject: Re: NetView over XWindows?
I have tried the following on our Netview system here (AIX 5.1.1):
With the RW map open:
1. Open (as a different user) a RO map.
2. Manage on the RW map an object that was previously unmanaged
3. Bring down an Interface on the network.
4. Check the status of the RO map.
The RO map has the object still unmanaged (which is as expected), but the
status did change correctly to the Down state from a normal state.
With the RW map closed:
1. Open RO map
2. Bring down interface on the network
3. Check the status of the RO map.
The RO map did change the status correctly from the down state to the normal
state.
Our environment is Windows NT on the Client using Exceed for Win32 Version
6.1.0.0.
One question I do have (kind of off the subject) is there any way for an NT
client to use a native NT version of Netview to talk with the Netview server
on AIX? I am not very familiar with the NT version of Netview and I am just
curious.
Thanks,
Patrick
