Hey, I downloaded and installed the VNC server on my FreeBSD box and the VNC client on my WIN NT machine. It really works great! I've given some of the people that have accounts on the FreeBSD box, the VNC client, so they can install it on their machines as well. I gave everyone a demonstration on it and they all thought it was pretty cool. Thanks for the tip! 8^) Joe |--------+-----------------------> | | "Some Person"| | | <ntvsunix@hot| | | mail.com> | | | | | | 06/27/00 | | | 12:14 AM | | | | |--------+-----------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG | | cc: (bcc: Joe Warner/SMS) | | Subject: Re: Remote Connections | >--------------------------------------------------------| Simplist way (for what you're looking for), would be VNC. Kinda like PC Anywhere for just about ANY from/to ANY platform - AND!!! IT'S FREE!!! Besides, Norton anything sucks!!! In other words, you want to run either X apps, or X Windows remotly, etc.. etc.. Then this is it, otherwise, look into Xwin32 also. OpenNT was another long time ago, dunno anymore... check out: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ > >Please forgive me if this is a stupid question but when you connect to a >FreeBSD machine remotely using telnet, what can you do on the system >besides viewing the contents of files, using editors like vi, looking at >system processes or reading and sending mail messages?
