I'm assuming you're talking about something similar to Citrix or Windows Terminal Services.

As of now there is no way to do this on the Macintosh. You probably want to explore writing your own client/server implementation for your application. Or use an existing solution like the Citrix or Windows Terminal Services clients for the Macintosh, and simply have your Macintosh users log into a Windows version of the application, although this option is not as nice as simply having a Mac OS X application.

I know very little about terminal/emulation. The reason I am writing you
is because I have a very specific question regarding using an os x comp
as a terminal. I am in the process of developing an information
management system that is a native cocoa app with a secure database
backend. What I would like to do, once the app is developed, I would like
to be able to implement in
the following way: OS X and IMS application installed on main XServer
then have multiple (as needed) terminals that access the main server
and are able to utilize the app and database as necessary each terminal
independent of each other. What I mean by terminal is a Mac Display,
Keyboard, and Mouse but no cpu. You would just securely login at the
terminal and then have your own instance of the IMS app to do what you
need. Is this possible on a Mac?
