Further to my previous answer, I forgot to clarify how we do it - this is
probably preaching to the converted but just in case.
We run Netview on an AIX box and on the Linux box we run Mandrake with the KDE
desktop.
>From the Linux box we do the following..
1) type xhost + in a xterm to open up the X to all comers
2) telnet to the netview box then do the following
3) export DISPLAY=linuxbox:0.0
4) netview &
5) exit from the telnet session
Netview then uses the X Server on the linux box as its display. I have not had
any problems with the keyboard emulation, the only niggle I have had is with
the 3rd button emulation on the mouse but this is minor.
At some stage when I get some spare time I will probably write a driver for the
linux box to improve the 3rd button emulation but its low priority.
Cheers - Gavin

All,
Does anyone know if you can run an X-windows NetView console session on a
Linux box yet? Being X-windows it seems possible, but then that's the catch
word, seems.
