I would say that your text app is broken then. They may be using it as a form of license control so that only the person on the console can use it. The VNC server does not show an arbitrary tty. Period. The only software I've seen that might allow remote control of an arbitrary tty is DoubleVision from Tridia ( http://www.tridia.com/ ). I have no personal experience with that software and it doesn't look cheap. They do have an eval demo, though. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
