Dear sir,
I did as you said but failed. My Sun wsk promopted me that 'can't find xon'. I don't know If I should rsh to the FreeBSD before I execute 'xon freebsd-host-name command'. I rsh to the FreeBSD and execute the command and failed again. Would you please give me more information about this, step to step is the best.
Thank you.
Please cc a copy to my mailbox on Netscape.net.

> Hello,
> I have two computer, one is a PC who runs FreeBSD 4.0, the other one is a SUN workstation and runs Solaris 2.5.1. The later has a 17' display. What I want to know is how to make the SUN workstation be a client of the PC, so that I can use the SUN's big display to show the PC's X window. For example, I can run FreeBSD's Netscape on the SUN display by set the SUN to be a client of FreeBSD's X window.

You wish make Sun not _client_ but _server_ (X Server) for FreeBSD programs.
If you have rsh enabled on your FreeBSD then just login to Sun wks, and 
from xterm (cmdtool etc.) run "xon freebsd-host-name command"
If you don't have rsh enable on FreeBSD then go to
