Hi,

Does Baan client support Mac OS?
We are on Sun Solaris, Baan Base

Never heard of one. Does bw.exe in Windhose emulation work? Can you start a XServer on the client and work with the bx interface?

If you install the WebTop interface you should be able to do it within an Internet Browser...

No, there is no Mac client, Mac's are not usually associated at all with entreprise environments, more like designer environments (where they really excell).

But if you're on MacOS X or have a telnet program on prior versions, and you're using BaanIV, you can always use the ba6.1, or, as mentioned, start a bx6.1 on the server with export of display to MacOS X (with X server).

Otherwise, you are out of luck...

If I may comment on that: Webtop runs on any web server, but at the client side an MS operating system is required. So using Webtop on a Mac client is not an option :(

MS browser is not good enough? msIExplore6.x is available on that platform, if I am right (do not use it myself)...

Would it be possible to access BaaN on a Mac through terminal emulation?
If yes then it should work with software like Ericom Interconnect:

You should be able to access Triton or (I think) Baan IV ASCII using terminal emulation on a Mac. Certainly we used Mac for both network and dialup access on a Triton 3.1 system.

For GUI, the answer has been "no". That is, there is no Baan client for Mac-OS. In theory, you should be able to install the windows client on a Mac running Virtual PC, but I haven't heard of anyone who has tried it.
