Daniel,

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. First, what machine are you trying to login from? If it's a Linux box then it's possible to have individual programs or possibly even all of KDE displayed on the screen of the other PC - using the built in networking capablities of the X Window System. To do this, you first need to allow the other machine to connect to the X server on the machine you are sitting at. To do this, run 'xhost +'. Then you could log into the other machine using telnet or ssh and type 'xterm -display ip.address.of.machine.you.sit.at:0'.
This will start up a terminal on the other machine and display it on the screen of the machine you are sitting at. Don't forget the ':0' from the end. Any programs you start from that terminal will start on the other machine but display on your screen.

If you want to log in from a windows machine, then you could either look for an X server that works under windows -- I never used one but apparently there are some. Or you could just use VNC.

Hope this helps

Vik

I think you can use Hummingbird Exceed for that. We use it to display solaris on windows machines.
