- In a word, yes. ka9q can allow remote Xclients over SLIP (provided you have

- as I understand it, xhost currently doesn't work because it relies on TCP/IP
- code that doesn't exist in your average linux kernel. If you are interested
- in limiting connections to your X display under slip, it will need to be done
- INSIDE ka9q.
-
- I don't know how to do this, I haven't tried. As it is, I either don't
- 'start x' for security reasons, or do 'start x' when I'm just messing around.
