Exceed is not an X client program, it's an X server. Netscape Navigator is an X client, xterm is an X client... If you want to run Exceed, you don't need an X server (most probably Xfree86) on the FreeBSD box. Just tell the applications on the FreeBSD box you want them to connect to the Exceed box, and they will do so. > 1.

Are there other possibilities? You don't mention the nature of the work you want to perform. Is it editing text files? Is it working with a database client app? Those have network capabilities, right? As for the text files: How about NFS? -- FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE 4:40PM up 3 days, 18:06, 19 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
