Pretty nifty feature, allows me to have faxes sent to my home linux machine, and displayed on my NT machine at work via internet. telnetting into linux/local login, someXprog -display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 (xxx being IP of your Windows' machine) on your NT/9x machine, install a Windows Xserver...a free version can be found here... http://tucows.oceanic.com/xwinservernt.html#mix Of course, you could display it on another linux machine, but you'd have to enable access on it first (xhost +) have fun.
