Tim, This worked!!! I was able to get bthe SCO login screen and when I logged in it started all the apps that windoze\exceed did. I was only able to get this to run from run level 3. When I tried it from an xterm in run level 5 I got an error. I can't give you all the details of the error (because I am still at home sick). I had a coleague run the command for me. But I will when I get back to work. Thanks Again! This was a major hurdle in installing a linux desktop at my company. --- "Keller, Tim" <Tim.Keller at stratus.com> wrote: > Vince, > > I've had luck getting this to work with connecting > to HPUX boxes.
