I use two applications, it just depends on what I'm doing. I use putty when I just need to use the command line. I use cygwin when I need to use a gui interface. Be forewarned, the GUI interface is expensive to run in terms of cpu cycles. So, use it sparingly. But, then, it depends on what kind of box/IFL your running.

Could you dial into the Linux guest? Is TCP/IP'ing to the guest the best way of accessing the guest either locally or remote. Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
