Just convince people to spring for the X11 support for citrix.  Then any
X server can do an XDMCP connection and login to the citrix box.  I used
to do that years ago when I had a co-op job at Husky Injection Molding,
since all their CAD people ran HP-UX boxes, and used a citrix server to
run word and outlook and such from their HP box.
