Yes. Start X on your computer, telnet/ssh/rlogin to the remote comp, set the DISPLAY and then start whatever program you want. DISPLAY should be set to something like <youripaddress>:0.0 . You might need to set permissions for this with xhost -- Andrew Chung [EMAIL PROTECTED] See http://anderoo.dhs.org/~anderoo/pgp.html for PGP key It's a sin only if you dwell on the what ifs and the but ifs
