I wish. Where I am doing work now, the Windows machines have Hummingbird installed, which can be used to bring up an xterm on a Solaris server (via telnet of course). Naturally, they go nuts when you forget to turn the telnetd off on a new install of RHEL :-) Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
