Re: [foxboro] remote DM's on multi-headed machine





Thanks for the info Ron.  I will check it out.

Part of the reason for using this solution is for better remote
connections.  The terminal server uses little network resources, compared
to Xwindows.

It looks like the dm_wp50 program appends :0 to the ip address of dedicated
machines.
I guess Foxboro never anticipated remote machines with multiple heads.

Brian, if you're going to set up as server to serve DM's or FV's you might
want to look into Hummingbirds 'Exceed On Demand', a server based app that
also handles licenses well.  It's a web based interface so if you set up
security and permissives you can even serve a DM to yourself over the
internet.  I haven't seen much of it myself since it was installed just
after I retired but a short demo from a PC during a visit showed me that it
was fast... faster than Go Global.
