UnixBoxFilter: I need access to an AIX or Solaris box. Does anyone know of a service that will sell VPS-type access to such a beast? Alternatively, what are the best places online to look for used low-end AIX or Solaris workstations (preferrably in the EU). RISC CPUs are a must, so Linux or Solaris x86 can't work here.

Problems with Exceed: I use exceed to connect from home to a UNIX workstation at work. Recently it started "hanging" on me, i.e. it takes infinite time to open a new xterm window. Some people suggested that there is a virus (I cannot find it). Others say it might be Exceed, or even my Internet provider (NY Roadrunner). Today I tried SLAX -a Linux OS loading from a CD- which is also "hanging". Any clues? Help!
