Using my 144 k IDSL connection, a full 1024x768 screen with minimal colors paints in probably 2-3 seconds. Someone else asked about instructions. From home, I just ssh (-C) into my Linux box at work. Then running vncviewer from that box to a Winders box on the network sends the output to my display at home due to ssh's built in X redirection. There is also a way to use ssh's port redirection to do the same thing. I believe it is documented in the FAQ on VNC's web site, http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc. > Adam Maloney > Systems Administrator > Sihope Communications > Eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
