About a year ago I was helping someone beta test such a package. I have heard that it was released. It was by a UK company named VisionWare(?) and I have seen posts from people at that company here. The package worked over ethernet, serial line, or modem (although the performace suffered with the slower methods). It would allow you to open up to seven windows on the Unix box. It was pretty slick. -- Mike Lipsie 1-415-648-5922 584 Castro #614, San Francisco, CA 94114 dosbears!mikel@pyramid.com mikel%dosbears.uucp@ingres.com
