|
<P>You're using two computers. You're using the X window system of the first
|
|
to type to and look at. You're using the second to do some important
|
|
graphical work. You want the second to show its output on the display
|
|
of the first. The X window system makes this possible.
|
|
<P>Of course, you need a network connection for this. Preferably a fast
|
|
one; the X protocol is a network hog. But with a little patience
|
|
and suitable protocol compression, you can even run applications
|
|
over a modem. For X protocol compression, you might want to check
|
|
out dxpc

<OL>

<LI> Tell the local display (the server) to accept connections from
|
|
the remote computer.

<LI> Tell the remote application (the client) to direct its output to
|
|
your local display.
