This is a little bit of a strange question.... Netscape 2.0 on an HP9000 supports Java. I would like to see what Java does. So, I thougt to myself, why not install Netscape on an HP9000 and then open Netscape onto my machine w/ X-Windows (my machine being the machine w/ FreeBSD 2.1). So, here's what I'm wondering: Is it possible for me to start Netscape from a diff. machine so that it opens the window on my machine? If so, what's the trick? I tried using rsh with an exec string after it to start an xterm, but that didn't work (probably because rlogin is disabled on the HP). But, assuming that I can use rsh (if necessary) to access the HP, is it possible, then, to run Netscape on the HP, but with the window being on my machine w/ FreeBSD? Thanks for your help! -ben
