Not really. Not if you're actually thinking that you can *play quake* over an ssh session. On a local lan, you *might* be able to do it (with a very low framerate), but there's no way you're going to be able to: - shove 30fps or so across an ssh connection - do any sort of serious graphics over the connection You might be able to get away with a very-very low framerate aalib-rendered game, but that's about all I can think of. -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Now is the Windows of our disk contents
