Take a look at XMX, an X protocol multiplexor, it will do exactly what you want, assuming your network allows local X clients to display remotely. XMX was developed at Brown University, and we've used it here for similar purposes as yours. XMX is availabe via anonymous ftp from: host: wilma.cs.brown.edu (128.148.31.66) file: pub/xmx.tar.Z or send mail to: jsb@cs.brown.edu -- Sivan Mahadevan Salomon Brothers Inc Bond Portfolio Analysis Seven World Trade Center 37th Floor 212-783-7611 New York NY 10048 sivan@bpa10.sbi.com uunet!sbi.com!bpa10!sivan
