I know but it is much much slower than it used  to be.
My new DSL cable runs about 1.4Mby/s download so it should be faster. 
After I log in to my work place I type "aips tvok tv=homeipaddress
In the first case, aips on the home  machine is  running.

I log into my work computer and type aips tv=local. In the second case, 
aips on the home  machine is not running and the aips display is viewed on 
the home machine, though I am on my work machine.


The first case should be faster than the first case for sure but
I am finding that is not so. Any suggestons would be appreciated.
