Hi,

ok, i misunderstood you, i thought you were trying to run a terminal session
through apache over the net. I read a little about plugger, so i have to
correct myself. It is only aimed at multimedia playpack, i don't know if it
can be tweaked to your needs. Xembed sounds more promising here, though you
probably still have to code your own browser plugin for it and you'll need a
terminal, that talks Xembed and provides the neccessary controls. But from
what I read so far, this is quite possible.
http://multimedia.cx/diamondx/ and
http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2005/08/10/playing-around-with-xembed/ might
help you with further info.

regards,

Peter Marquardt
