I'm also using it to connect to the same box at work, about 6 hops away and it works great there as well, I've even been able to enjoy a few games of xjewel. I haven't tried running an X-server on windows but it is my understanding that VNC sends a lot less data. The best thing is that it keeps the sessions when you disconnect so you can continue at the same place as you left off. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Joel Bjork Date: 13-Aug-00 Time: 16:54:07 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
