Ghee, The slowness is across the board. I would guess that the VPN is part of the problem and distance is another. When I have seen this kind of behavior in applications, it usually mean that the client and server a rather chatty. Distance of the link then becomes a major factor in the responsiveness. I have tried logging on to the server direct from my laptop that runs Solaris over the vpn using remote login and it doesn't appear to make much difference.
I have used an eval copy of the lastest version of ExceedonDemand and it improves the performance considerably. I think maybe I should give VNC a try and see if that helps. Stephen H.

Not sure whether the slowness is a side effect of vpn or not. Most people I know of using vpn does not going through chooser simply login and then vpn. So you have another level of indirection. I have cc: also the discuss list in case some one else has come across similar problem and share. -Ghee Stephen Wells wrote: >Ghee, > >The machine I am connecting to is running Solaris 10 with JDS Release 3 >Build 12/15/04. > >It is not a local connection.
