<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Diane,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> It is kind of a crude way of connecting - but could you just
pull up another Display Manager (or FoxView) on one node? I don't do it
very often between our two systems because one is FoxView & one is using the old
Display manager, but it does work.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> We are set up to run Exceed on our LAN PCs, and you just log
one system's AW into the other system as user "ia". The .profile in
the /opt/ia directory sets up the DM or FoxView.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I have no idea whether this can confuse the two nodes & I
have never had them connected this way for more than a half hour. The system
using the old Display Manager gets its color palette whacked out if you start a
FoxView on it, but there does not seem to be any other problem. The FoxView
system seems to run the old Display Manager just fine.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Where I am working the plant has 2 nodes (only connected by
</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 2nd ethernet</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> port). These plant are each very different from the other,
</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> but the Operators</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> have asked if they could see 2 blocks from the other node.
</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Does anyone know</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> if there is a way to "write" this info. to the other
node via </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> ethernet,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> i.e., without having to connect the 2 via Carrierband LAN or
COMM?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Thanks in advance for any assistance you might lend.</FONT>
