OK, so in order to make my life a bit simpler, I'm seeking to be able to access my school's Sun Ray terminals (running Solaris) from my dorm room. DONE! I downloaded a 2-month trail version of a program called X-Win32 from www.StarNet.com .....and so far so good. I got everything working......almost. I can open mozilla no problem, I can use the x-term to it's fullest. I can even loging to my general engineering desktop and use star office just fine....oh, and this is seperate networks....each major/department has their own isolated network, to access you have to login using telnet for windows or rlogin from unix/linux....dont ask, I dont know why either, rofl.
The main reason I'm doing it is so that I can use a program called Mathematica (on my math department computers) from my dorm room. From what I hear, it is an industry standard program, so I don't doubt that some of you are familiar with it. Anyway, As per starnet's advice (on the website) I downloaded the fonts needed for Mathematica....but for some reason the program won't do it. Every time I start up mathematica, it tells me that it can't find the fonts.....now, this is the X-Term in Solaris telling me that....it's not an XP window or anything....it's X-term that tells me that the fonts can't be loaded, and then it gives me a unix option-box that says it cant find them, and it will load default fonts (with the option to continue loading or exit mathematica)
I currently have a tech-support incident open with StarNet, but I received an auto-response that says the guy will be out of his office. I was hoping that I might find a quicker answer here, heh.
