from reading the MOSIX docs it seems it *is* totally transparent and that was one of their primary goals. MOSIX migrates processes mased on resource use and handles connecting STDIN, STDOUT, and other resources back to the "home node". when a process is migrated, nobody should notice anything but better performance. b3n On Thu, 15 May 1997, Jordan K.
