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?  Supposedly, one
of the great things about a UNIX system is that multiple users can
connect to it from remote locations and do work simultaneously.  What
work?  Isn't there a way to be able to launch and use some of the neat
applications that come with KDE, for example?  Is there another way of
connecting besides telnet, that would serve this purpose?  I've set up
some accounts on my FreeBSD box for people I work with but at the
moment, I'm at a loss for showing them some neat things they can do.
Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Joe
