closest thing i'm aware of is VNC, which is loosely like screen-for-your-xsession. only problem is that it uses a virtual display so you have an extra step between your x session and the console it runs on (you will have a windows or x client that connects to your vnc session no matter where you are, home or away, rather than just exporting your home display (:0), it will live on :1 or whatever you ask for, >0, assuming you have a physical :0). so, it won't take a now-existing emacs session and make it available from elsewhere; you have to start emacs inside it (much like a program you'd use inside screen). the cool thing is it's completely free, and works on everything from your x session to your windows session to your palmpilot! it's installed on the cs machines (vncviewer/vncserver). http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
