The plan is to have a PC on the back of the machine to be the EMC2 host then run an Ethernet cable to the front with a standard linux to be the client (two nodes only). Currently, the client has to to run an EMC2 installation. If I can get AXIS to run stand-alone then I can run any common distribution. I could run an EMC2 install on both PC's, but I figured a standard linux client would be better. I know I can use VNC or similar method, but I could omit the GUI from the host if I stream the NML. For me, it's no big deal if I can't get it done, but the original EMC had this kind of modularity, so I though it might be doable. It would be interesting to also have a remote I/O PC using NML, but I think the HAL pin issue might prevent this. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
