Have you tried tightVNC on maximum compression? The lossy compressionleads to some visible artefacts on bitmaps (e.g. your modelsim wavewindow), but it's a lot better than anything else I've tried over avoice band modem.Regards,Allan.

: I am an ASIC engineer who frequently 'takes work home' with me.: Recently, I began using ssh to remotely login to our company's: servers to run some Verilog/VHDL simulations. Launching: sims (from the UNIX command line) is fairly easy and painless,: but any kind of interactive (GUI) operations are pitifully: slow over an WAN/internet connection. In the past, I: haven't needed to do much more than check on running jobs,: restart them, then logout. Now, I find the need to do some: interactive debugging work (waveform viewing, code editing,: etc.)Look at NX. It what LBX (Low Bandwidth X ) promised, but NXdelivers. Probably not to easy to set yet, but worth a try. Bye-- Uwe Bonnes Institut fuer Kernphysik Schlossgartenstrasse 9 64289 Darmstadt--------- Tel. 06151 162516 -------- Fax. 06151 164321 ----------

Hi Mike,

I assume when you say move around you mean taking it home? I just checked my Modelsim license and the 800m clause applies to any license, nodelocked or floating. However, I would say that as long as your Modelsim dongle is nodelocked, insured and you work for the company that paid for the license than I don't believe Mentor will complain about a license breach if you take it home. I can be 100% sure though since I don't work for Mentor but I assume they have more important things to do :-)

Regards, Hans.

Since you are using UNIX-based hosts, you might want to consider looking into NX

I have used it for the exact same purpose for years (it wasn't actually called NX back then).

For quite some time I had to use a connection going from the local office in Boston,MA to Milpitas,CA and back to Boston. No issues here.

Hope that helps, Marcus
