Kirk is trying to use the remote UI features of EMC2, which allow you to have the UI communicate with the machine controller using NML. What you're describing is using remote X, which isn't even close to the same thing :) Remote X actually runs the UI program on the same PC as the machine controller, but uses the networking features of X to display the user interface on another computer. The "remote UI" features in EMC2 actually have you run the UI on the separate PC, but the commands for the machine controller are sent via NML, using remote buffers. Since you can run more than one UI simultaneously, this allows you to have a remote machine with a UI at the same time as the controller PC has a UI running. I believe this is the setup Kirk is looking for - two UIs running, one on the machine controller and one on a remote PC. That can't be done with remote X (AFAIK). - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
