- let me rephrase my previous post. what i'd like is a local area network and
- run something akin to x-windows, so that i could use one amiga as a terminal
- (control i/o and view) to an application running on another amiga. in the
- long run what i hope to have is one amiga with a large monitor and a number of
- other amigas without monitors (they do add up in price and require a lot of
- space:-) ). the "remote" amigas may have hardware-dependent applications
- (e.g., par, toaster, a dongled brilliance), but the application is run on that
- machine, not on the "terminal" amiga. this must be possible!?:-)
-
- again, h/w & s/w recomendations are appreciated. i'm currently attempting to
- download the "arcnet" files from the far too busy wustl site........
-
- thanks in advance for any and all advice,
