I have a 10baseT net at work with Linux/diald running the modem. I use VNC to send a Quickbooks/NT screen over to a Linux (RH5.2) box. Quite responsive, but some of the QB data entry boxes won't work over the connection. I haven't done much experimenting with the settings, this may fix it. IE4 on NT over the VNC connection will browse the web much more quickly NS on Linux directly on the host. Even Slashdot runs quickly on IE like this (haha, just kidding, folks).

Telnet to the machine, execute the command: export DISPLAY=:0.0 (where new_IP is the machine you're sitting at) then run the application you want. You may have to add the "other machine" (the one you telnetted to) into your xhosts file to allow it to connect to your running X server. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp.

check out Olivetti Research Labs, now owned by AT&T. it used to be at www.orl.co.uk, and look at their vncviewer, released under GPL. It may work better for pushing images across a skinny connection.

Hi, I have always used linux as a workstation, and sometimes as a server. I have finally stopped using pine. Mainly because I need to filter my e-mail. I use kmail. Unfortunately it gets really messy and I need to check my mail from home. What is involved with running a X program from the server to the client. simply put them in the xhost auth??? I am waiting to test it. I am house sitting at a house with no computer so I have to wait until the weekend to see if this works, but some pointers would be nice in the meantime. -- Regards, Gavin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ENTER.NET - "The Road to the Internet Starts Here!"
