Got any suggestions? :-) ICA might be less bandwidth intensive; but then, it does a lot less than X does, and once you start using some of ICA's optional stuff, then it too can become quite the bandwidth hog. And T.SHARE is even more of a bandwidth hog and it does less. Try using LBX -- it can substantially reduce the amount of network bandwidth that your X programs produce. -- Kaleb S. KEITHLEY
