Mark, I have an Xserver on Win2K. I was wondering how to run something like KDE or Gnome window manager on the Win2K machine and have it invoke the application on the mainframe. That seems to be what Tzafrir Cohen was saying that I could do. I already have the tunnelling working and running KDE on the mainframe Linux (OK, really on my test Linux/Intel since I don't have Linux/390 available yet). Tzafrir implies that I could run something like KDE on Win2K, but then it would invoke applications on the mainframe.
