I work in a hospital and one of the remaining goals I have in completing The Switch(TM) is gaining access to our information system. I know next to nothing about networking so apologies in advance for putting forth what is probably an unanswerable question.



Regarding "Windows for Mac" (or whatever it is called)? I am curious what kind of programs will work on it. I was wondering if our hospital's information system (Meditech) would work on it. It's not a Windows program per se, but some sort of DOS or terminal emmulation application. On my PC (with the small application installed) I could access it at work via the (Ethernet) network and at home via VPN or dialup.



There is a dedicated program for Meditech use on the Mac (MediOSX www.cam.com/mediosx.html,) but it is rather expensive and was wondering if the more broadly useful Windows for Mac might work...

    See if they will let you dial in to the Meditech server. There is a dial-up terminal emulation for OS 9, and they may have it for X also.
