Excellent news. The first time I tried, years ago, I couldn't get it to work. I tried various remote systems, MI/X, VNC and other stuff. I could only use telnet, so with this, I gave up on Linux temporarily. I then had another go, I wanted to get the remote control working, and with the help of the list, eventually got it working. It looks like many people had the same problem, so with the authors permission, I put it up.
Glad to have helped. Dave. ~~ All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Collectible dolls from http://www.collectorsdolls.com Web design?
