The Ohio State University Department of Computer Science & Engineering has replaced X-Win32 with FastX3 for remote Linux sessions. You would usually use this to open a remote session to stdlinux.coeit.osu.edu OR faclinux.coeit.osu.edu. Use this guide to configure your FasxtX3 software to connect to stdlinux.coeit.osu.edu and faclinux.coeit.osu.edu
Full Answer
Remote Access
Central to the mission of CEMAS is to educate the next generation of electron microscopy users and experts.
How It Works
The key to delivering the speed and reliability needed for remote microscopy is a high-quality connection, with low latency and minimal jitter and packet loss. If the latency is consistently low enough, then the user can sit in a remote site anywhere in the world and feel a suitable response to operator commands.
First Remote Access Partners
Having identified an appropriate network solution, the next step in developing a remote microscopy capability was to prove the concept through a practical demonstration with a remote partner willing to work through the development process.
