You can use whatever you want, once you have the PPP or SLIP connection established. You can point an X server on your home box to your work box and use the work box's xdm. > - Is there any way i can do one of the above from a DOS client? > ( please don't flame me , some co-workers don't have UNIX ) X on DOS is not pretty. There is a server, 'XAppeal', which is commercial. There is a 30 day demo that a friend of mine has that I could forward along. > I have already set up /dev/ttyd0 with USRobitics 14.4 and > can use standard terminal emulator from home.
