Svein Erik, VNC will allow you to do this. VNC has the added advantage of allowing a user to sign out without ending a session, so programs can continue to run. This can cause its own problems, however. VNC has a few inconveniences, though. 1. Programs cannot move from one Xdisplay to another, so your users will need to either a) run all of their programs on the Xvnc display or b) restart the problem program on the Xvnc display when they need help. 2. You won't be able to see the student's cursor, and he won't be able to see yours. You will see the results of each other's mouse movements. -David ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
