- Has anyone had any experience using Workstations over serial lines ?
-
- It would be nice to be able to have dial up access to do support etc;
-
- ( Home working perhaps ?? )
-
- I'm aware of simple dial-up giving terminal emulation but I am really
-
- interested in using X applications / NFS - I believe this can be done
-
- with SLIP | PPP to give IP over the thin wire and that Xremote | LBX
-
- is available in X11R6 and Xvision.
-
-
- It may also be desirable if the "remote" client were a portable
-
- do any comments on the Tadpole Sparcbook would be of interest
-
- (or indeed intel portables running sunos perhaps ?? )
-
- I suppose that the telecoms links would be key in such set-up
-
- and would be especially keen to hear from anyone thats
-
- achieved reasonable response over public lines detailing
-
- their set-up. (Modems , baud-rate etc)
-
-
- Regards Sandy.
