Remote desktop (like VNC). Remote X (like cygwin, or just a remote login from another Linux machine) Remote NML connection. You lose a couple of features of AXIS if you use it remotely (there are some HAL connections that won't exist), but other than that, running remotely is more or less the same as running locally as far as EMC is concerned.note that this is the only option so far that actually executes the GUI program on a separate PC. Remote desktop and remote X only display a program remotely, the program still runs on the EMC target computer. There was a Java EMC GUI at one point, and it ran on Windows. I have no idea how far behind it is, it hasn't been maintained at all as far as I know (and it's not part of the EMC2 codebase). Remote via emcrsh. This is a telnet-like interface that provides many of the machine control functions available. I don't know exactly what its limitations are, but my understanding is that the reason it was written was to allow a Windows based control program to connect to a headless (no monitor) PC. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
