A mate and I have just been playing these past couple of days with the vnc suite (part of your linux distro, I think). It gives full desktop access, and can do so over ssh. We had much fun typing at each other in a text-editor, running browsers and The Gimp to show each others pictures, including that furry russian penguin. According to the docs, client and servers can be Windows and Unix in any combination. There's even a single-floppy client here http://www.renyi.hu/~ekho/lowlife/ Ideal for that 386;-) For running a 3270 emulator, a 386 portable would probably be fine;-)). Using the techniques of the lowlife project, it should also be possible to put together a small-footprint system running Linux, ssh and c3270. -- Cheers John.
