Its a software from AT&T. The download is less than an MB I guess. Exceed is hundreds of MBs. And its Open Source, GPL'ed software. This program can serve as a replacement to Exceed. When installed, it is in two parts, A VNC Server (which is present in newer Red Hat Linux machines by default) and a VNC Viewer. To access a Linux machine, telnet to the machine and type the command. Or just run the following command if you have direct access to the machine.  (As of Red Hat Linux 7.3, VNC Server is in installed by default for a complete install, you could easily get the RPM on the Net) vncserver -geometry 900x640 -depth 16 where 900x640 is the Pixel density and 16 is the Bits per pixel. At this point it may ask for a password.  You get output like ***************** New 'X' desktop is peacock:1 Starting applications specified in /home/venkat/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/venkat/.vnc/peacock:1.log ******************** Now in Windows run VNCViewer It will ask VNC Server Give IP address:display number   If IP of peacock is 160.160.160.160, then give 160.160.160.160:1 (as New 'X' desktop is peacock:1) It will ask for a password, after that I think it will work. To kill VNCServer on the machine, [venkat@peacock venkat]$vncserver -kill :1 Replace 1 by the desktop number you got earlier Regards, Venky PS: You can use it to access your Windows machines too. Run WinVNC, set password by double clicking icon in system tray. Then you can access your machine from anywhere on the LAN by running VNCViewer with your IP:0.   Member of Technical Staff Systems Software Group, Netcentric Division, HCL Technologies Ltd., Noida, U.P [EMAIL PROTECTED] 91 - 4510701/702/813 Extn.3141
