Yesterday, I found the best X server/viewer for windows (and linux) that I have
seen yet and it is free (GNU Public License). It is called VNC from Olivetti and
Oracle research laboratory. You can connect from linux->windows, windows->linux,
linux->linux, windows->windows. It is a lot better than any of the other products
I have seen ot this kind. I don't have the URL (it is at work) you can email me or
post a reply and I will get it and reply.

In terms of reliability I hope that you don't mean Win$ 95/98.
I'm using NT and I had to bluescreens in 3 years, of these only 1 I don't
know why.
I use MI/X (http://www.microimages.com/ ) because it's free and it works for
me.
On this site there is a big list, what's else out there.

Back to basics
Check that you don't have Full duplex running on one card and not on the
other.
Also you cannot run full duplex to a HUB

I also have ran into the problem that Linux crashes the Sun Solaris
server. Upgrading Linux to 2.2.3 seems to help. Upgrading Solaris to
2.6 or 2.7 should help too as it appears that this is a bug of solaris
trigered by Linux. However my sys. admin. refuse to do that because it
is too much of a hassle for him.

Launch it (asclock -shape) and drag it to the clip. The area where you
have to click to drag it is very small, in the upper-right corner.

Subject: kernel 2.2.5 and strange message in syslog
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 16:11:15 GMT
Hi, I'm running RH 5.2 on our LAN with pcmcia ethernetworking and have just
upgraded from kernel 2.2.2 to 2.2.5-ac1 (with apparently no problems
whatsoever) so that I can hopefully get my maestro sound card to work.
Anyway, everything seems to be running fine but since I upgraded I keep on
getting the following strange messages in /var/log/messages:
Apr 1 10:23:51 mypc -- MARK --
Could anyone tell me what this means? It doesnt appear to be a breakin
because everything checks out OK with SAINT and there are no other unusual
problems or files.
Thanks

Subject: Don't wanna run 'diald', so what else???
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 09:28:39 -0700
I've got IP Masquerading and 'diald' working between my baby network at
home.
I don't like 'diald'. It works fine. But I want something a little
more interactive.
I would like to be able to dial-up and hangup from a remote machine.
What I came up with was:
Set up two login accounts.
One to start PPP.
One to hangup.
Then from a remote telnet session, start and stop the modem.
But, I would like something a little 'cleaner'.
Any ideas???
Thanks!
Jon
