I believe so provided notabene is not already running xconsole. Can you telnet or rlogin to notabene and launch xconsole successfully? ``/usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -display unix:0'' Can rsh from edge to notabene? ``rsh notabene /bin/ls'' Ensure that notabene's /etc/fbtab contains /dev/ttyv0 0600 /dev/console You may have to use the xhost command (or other means) to allow notabene to access edge's display. You may want to use the `-title xconsole@notabene' option with rsh to prevent confusion. -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr. > Regards, > > Greg > -- > Gregory S.
