I was already aware of these types of programs and have experimented with several. X-WinPro works pretty good, even though it has a 30 min. time limit. I'll try some of the others you mentioned. I just thought that maybe there was another way of connecting besides telnet, that I had overlooked. Thanks for your help. Joe ============================================================== Simplist way (for what you're looking for), would be VNC. Kinda like PC Anywhere for just about ANY from/to ANY platform - AND!!! IT'S FREE!!! Besides, Norton anything sucks!!! In other words, you want to run either X apps, or X Windows remotly, etc.. etc.. Then this is it, otherwise, look into Xwin32 also. OpenNT was another long time ago, dunno anymore... check out: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ =============================================================== If you want something more, like X apps running remotly, you have to use an X server, of course .. The server will run on your machine (that can be either some kind of unix - which is the nice way -, either some kind of win - and then you will need some kind of app that understand the X protocol). Through the X server, you can run X applications - like kde and oher stuff; the app will run on the remote machine, and will pop up the result on your machine. Stefan ================================================================ That need X, I presume. man X has the answer. There are also X-server for Windows. Star-Net has a 2 hour time limit demo. And see man xhost, if you want connect with your FreeBSD box into another Unix machine. xhost + or something better. ================================================================ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
