GraphOn's GoGlobal is much simpler to install on the PC and has a smaller
footprint. However, it does not work well with remote draw applications like
the ICC.
Hummingbird's eXceed is harder to install and has a much larger footprint.
However, it can handle our remote draw applications.
As a rule, we recommend eXceed for LANs and GoGlobal for dial-up.
Your assumption about the installation of GoGlobal and the desktop is
correct. However, you can get the desktop using eXceed as well.
BTW, this is all covered in the FoxRemote PSS. If you buy the products from
us, you get a manual that explains exactly how to configure everything and a
diskette that makes the work simpler.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Yes, if my assumptions are correct, I can easily see that would be the case
the X protocol is well known to not work on low bandwidth connections. As a
matter of fact I deployed many many years ago, a solution to provide
dialup access to a X based control system using some software (from the
makers of PC/FTP if memory serves).
Given a fast network, is there any advantage of using Go Global?
Also, could you comment on my assumptions?
