About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Reverse video in xterm

If you get reversed video (background and foreground colors are swapped) in an xterm for your X-Win32 session (usually only with rexec, rsh, or StarNetSSH sessions), typically on the AIX operating system (a version of UNIX distributed by IBM), then you most likely need to add the following line to the .profile file in your home directory on the AIX system:

export TERM=vt220

Then, close your session and re-open it and the colors will be fixed.

NOTE: This problem typically happens when using man to view man pages (or manual pages) for commands on the remote host.
