Running Netscape without X is gonna be a tough one to pull off.

I have used TightVNC with success to connect from Win32 to Unix and vice versa. TightVNC is somewhat like PCAnywhere and Windows Terminal Server/Citrix.

I have used Xnvc, however, i have not been successful in setting it run when the system boots up. I am using Redhat7.2
From what i understand from Xvnc, i can run them in two modes.
Correct me if i am wrong
1. I login at the Linux box, start vncserver at a display, run a program in the display. I can then view this program from a remote machine by connecting via a vncviewer. However, i cannot login through my vnc client.
2. Have Xvnc start at bootup time, connect from a remote machine using a vncviewer. Doing so should open a new login.
Thanks,
Preetham.

Huh?

Wouldn't the VNC viewer be the client? I am confused.

I use VNC on my WindowsME box on my LAN, then I simply access it with Netscape; something to the effect of:

http://WinME.domain.com:5800/

And the display I get is the Windows display!

I've done the same in FreeBSD!

I started it on one box, then from the other box did something very similar to the line above and accessed the FreeBSD box from my FreeBSD server using Netscape!!!

VERY COOL
