  6. From: wolinsky@isys.com (Jeff Wolinsky)
  7. Sender: news@Unify.Com
  8. Subject: Running X over a modem connection
  9. Lines: 28
  10.  
  11. Scene:  2 Sun SPARCstations running SUNOS4.1.1 OW2,
  12.         2 Telebit T2500 modems, 1 phone line
  13.  
  14. Question:
  15.  
  16. What's the best way to talk X (client <-> server) over the phone?
  17. I'm rather a novice....  I've heard of SLIP and PPP, though I
  18. don't know if they're in the public domain, require kernel
  19. reconfiguration, etc.  I've also heard that an extended version
  20. of tip ('tipx', I think) supports SLIP.
  21.  
  22. Can someone give me a brief summary of the options available
  23. and/or the easiest way to get up and running?  (Or is it so slow
  24. that I shouldn't even bother?)
  25.  
  26. Thanks.
  27.
