I also run a UNIX-based (BSDI) Internet server on a Pentium machine at a remote site hooked to a T-1. In short, I need to know what software I need to run on my Mac to access the UNIX box and execute X clients located there, and have them display on my Mac. I need to work on this Internet server by remote, and I'd like to do it via a graphical (X WINDOWS) environment on my Mac. I've heard of MachTen and Tenon's X Windows implimentation for the Mac. Do I need both of these programs, or can I get away with just the MachTen X Windows software? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
