I'd appreciate some advice / comments on running applications on a FreeBSD machine from other machines on the LAN & even over the internet if possible. I realize some things can be done using good old telnet, but occasionally I find things that don't respond ... eg "/stand/sysinstall" only gets so far and refuses to take any notice. I figure at least some of the problem is related to the inability of my telnet setup to recognize colors, but I don't know if there's a way around that & if thats the only limiting factor in running applications remotely. I also tried a few X-window servers in MS Windows boxes but all the ones I've tried have proved far too messy to configure / use / license.... seems those sorts of things are far more trouble than they are worth. The VNC thing is somewhat better, but from what I've seen of it I feel its still too fiddly. IS there a way to run EVERYTHING in a non-X FreeBSD system from elsewhere using only telnet ??
