I have a Linux system at home, which I'd like to connect to an OS/2 system at
work over a dial-up link.

I'll be using the OS/2 PC mainly for engineering use (PCB drafting, electronics
design, some software development). Much of the engineering software will be
DOS- and Win3.1-based. But I'd also like to take advantage of the applications
I have running under Linux.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to do the following:

    - dial up my home system from the OS/2 machine, and use the graphical
      (X windows) and non-graphical applications on my Linux machine;

    - dial up the OS/2 system from home, and use the graphical and
      non-graphical applications on the OS/2 system.

On my Linux machine I have X, ppp, cslip, and BIND working. I know next
to nothing about OS/2.

How close can I get to the ideal capabilities above? I'd prefer to use
copylefted or low-cost software to do it. All comments appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl.
