I need to have access for about 50 stations to start. By X-Session I assume you want to run X programs on the bsd box and display them on the PC's ? I use the Exceed from Hummingbird to accomplish this. It has a different version for NT & 95. It lets you run an X-Server on the PC so that users can export DISPLAY=hostpc:0 on the bsd box and have the window open on their pc. Downside is that Exceed costs a lot. But it is a full fledged package. I did see some demo version of X-server for PC which lets you connect to a single host box at a time. I might have a copy at work. If you need it, I can look it up. Suggestions anyone ? -Satya ----------------- Satya Devireddy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
