[Xastir] Map Problem

[Brian D Heaton]

George,

	The answer to this a qualified -- "sort of".  You can run the
application remotely if you have an Xserver on the remote machine.  I've
done it several times when I've wanted to use a hardened laptop (P200)
with a complex Xastir setup.  Xastir runs on the bigger machine and I
use the laptop like an Xterminal.  Nothing special here, its just using
the normal remote X stuff.  I tunnel mine through SSH and only on wired
links (bandwidth concerns), but it works quite well....

	If you're just looking for something to create a pretty shot for a web
page then you could run Xastir in X without a monitor connected. 
Depending on how loaded the system is that may or may not be an issue. 
Otherwise you might want to use JavAPRS or something else to format and
display for web page viewing.

	Can you give some more hints on your intended application?
