Hi All,
So I'm curious.. When y'all are posting here, anyone use their NextStation? I'm guessing not as this is using php.. Or is there a browser out there that supports php?
Couldn't find firefox... ( I know, I know )

Yes, I'm on crack. I meant JavaScript. php good, JavaScript bad? |

Yeah, js isnt supported beyond maybe a basic level on any of the NeXT browsers. I *think*. not real sure about that.
but thats ok, you can just run firefox via an X11 remote session on the next from a more powerful box

Now that is a tutorial I would like to see someone write up and post on the forums here, as I would love to run apps on my NeXTstation from my linux box.

as soon as I get my NeXT back up (currently cleaning and rearranging bedroom) I'll load up debian on my pc and remember how to do all that and then write the directions up. It's not too hard. I just haven't done it in awhile..

What helf says is right. I'm not sure if old Mosaic had any JS support or if there ever was a Netscape release for NeXTSTEP, but perhaps there's a browser with some minimal JS support. Anyone?
As for the "modern method", it's as helf says: via X11. And it's rather simple. Here's a mini-tutorial:
Assuming you have a Linux box (IP: 192.168.0.2) and a NeXT box (IP:192.168.0.3) and you've setup an X11 server on your NeXT box (Cub'X, XneXT, etc), what you need to do (if my memory hasn't failed) is:
1) type the following on your NeXT box (to allow all incoming connections):
xhost +
2) then telnet/ssh into you Linux boxen and type the following:
(if you have csh)
setenv DISPLAY 192.168.0.3:0.0
(or if you have bash)
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.3:0.0
3) and then run any X11 app you want (I like to test first):
/usr/X11R6/bin/xeyes
or simply type the following and if your paths are setup it'll show up:
xclock
4) now run your browser :)
