Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood your original reply. Yes, if VNC is free I'll check it out.
To explain more of what I need is as follows: 1. user logs on to our dial up network 2. user opens up web browser, points web browser to my Tarantella server 3. user logs in to Tarantella through web browser 4. Tarantella presents user with a button that connects and logs him in to our Windows server 5. user's Windows desktop appears. User may open his Windows applications and in particular "Outlook" so he can access his email 6. User doesn't need to know anything about how Unix works Michael Martinez System Administrator (Contractor) Information Systems and Technology Management CSREES - United States Department of Agriculture (202) 720-6223 -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 7:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Is there an Alternative for Tarantella?
