All you need is X installed on your FreeBSD machine. Assuming it is, just do xhost +remote.server.running.app (to let the remote server use your display), and then just set the DISPLAY at the server to the address of your FreeBSD machine. > > Others in the class are using a Macintosh or Win95 X Terminal Emulator.

I found an Emulator for Linux at: Win95 and Macintoshes need additional software because they don't include X server support built-in like FreeBSD has with XFree86. > > http://webusers.anet-chi.com/~jyue/ > > Is there anything like this ported for FreeBSD? > > Thanks in advance. > > _ _ __ _ _ > / \ / \ / | / \ / \ Student of Engineering () > | | / / / / | \ | | University of Washington /\ > | |/ / / /_ | \ \ | | > Ken Marsh: Durang@U.Washington.edu > | \ \ __| | | \ \| | > | |\ \ \ \ | | \ | "If you're going to eat a frog, > | | \ \ \ \ | | \ | eat a nice juicy one." > \_/ \_\ \_| \_/ \_/ - Wongani Nyasulu - > > Nadav
