What you describe is pretty much *exactly* what a front end does. So, you'd be using an X11 front end on whatever box you're on and it would connect to a kernel running on the Mac. (Note: no need to have an X11 front end running on the Mac, although such a thing is at least theoretically possible given that Apple has released an X11 for OS X.) - Eric. -- Eric Strobel (fyzycyst at NOSPAM^mailaps.org) ===================================================================== I'm searching for myself...
