Then you do as 'normal', i.e., fire up the local front end and have it talk to the kernel on the Mac. Unless you're really wanting the Mac to be sending the window/graphics info, i.e. run an X11 front end on the Mac but have it display on the other machine. In that case, I'm completely clueless (though my guess is that it can't be done that way). - Eric. -- Eric Strobel (fyzycyst at NOSPAM^mailaps.org) ===================================================================== Design is an iterative process.
