A
dumb terminal especially designed to run
Windows applications. Windows terminals are connected to a
Windows NT server through a network. All processing and data storage is handled by the server; the terminal does nothing more than send the user’s input (keystrokes and mouse movements) to the server and display the results on the display screen. Because Windows NT is not a true
multi-user operating system like
UNIX, it requires additional software to support Windows terminals. The most popular software for this is called
WinFrame.
