[Sussex] Remote connection

[Brendan Whelan]

Gary, thanks for the response. As I need a GUI interface, I followed 
your suggestion of  FreeNX and NoMachine's NX server. I worked my way 
though the installation, copying keys, etc. I can open sessions - 
confirmed at both ends of the link but nothing else happens. I was 
expecting some sort of window on the PC  containing a copy of the server 
screen. Any suggestions.  Thanks, Brendan
