You mention X, so I assume you are talking about the server being a Unix based system? If so you can use the X protocol to get what you want. The functionality is native to XFree86, and Cygwin has a free X server for Microsoft OSes that does this too (look at the "multiwindow" option). It's not exactly VNC, but it doesn't sound like you want the VNC option of a persistent desktop anyway. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
