In the days I used MS Windows, I had a suite of progs that allowed me, when run on both boxes, to see the desktop of one box in a window on the other, and mouse and keyboard actions in that window would act on the remote box. Is there something similar in Debian ? Cheers, Ron. -- It is not for me to attempt to fathom the inscrutable workings of Providence. -- The Earl of Birkenhead -- http://www.olgiati-in-paraguay.org --
