W2k3 TSE and Terminal Software

[Steve]

We have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server with about 20 users on it. We are
looking for a terminal emmulation software for users to run to connect ot
and perform file transfers and such with a custom Linux piece of equipment.
Hyperterminal is suggest against and the equipment manufacturer suggests
NetTerm - which works ok from as std desktop PC, but generates invalid
memory accesses from the terminal server as the user. It does run on the
terminal server as the admin or the person that ran the install. It was
installed using add/remove programs and the "install for all users" was
selected. Permission on the Netterm files and directories were granted full
control to everyone - at least for test purposes.

Does anyone use Netterm on terminal server and can you offer any insight?

Alternately, does anyone know of another terminal emmulation package that
runs well under terminal server?

I've never used Netterm myself, but as with any permission related
problem, I would download FileMon and RegMon from
http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run them as administrator (when no
user is connected), start a TS session as a normal user and try to
run the application.

FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors that
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on
a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.
