I've now got that far, but still no graphical display at the PC end when I run my script. I don't suppose that there is any reason why the SparcServer wouldn't do this? Could it have been set up originally to prevent remote graphical working? In use, this device is normally part of an ATE system and has a monitor permanently connected so remote logins wouldn't normally be needed. The most remoteness we've ever had before is the use of FTP to transfer files to and from the machine (and we only did that because it was easier than writing to a suitable removable media).
