Is it necessary to go through a host computer or server for Neowares Thin Clients to access the Internet?
The answer depends on the version of the netOS software that the machine uses. When running netOS for Intranets, the local browser on the desktop can connect directly to the Internet, or can do so through a proxy server, so users can browse the Web, run Java applets, send and receive e-mail without another computer. Users can also run Windows applications across the Internet with the @workStation. Using netOS for WinTerminals or netOS for the Enterprise, users run the browser or Java Virtual Machine on a host computer and display it on the NeoStation or @workStation.
