I run Mosaic at home, on my X server. The mosaic binary knows about term directly (I invoke it with the -term option) so the X stuff is local, only the network stuff goes out over the async line. I get very spiffy performance out of this, often better than the on-campus folks (they have to share the X resources with other users, I don't). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
