Hi

Digressing to "I hate the Java gui too":

I wasted a lot of time with this as well - used VNC to fix the problem.
It is a good way of getting around problems like this.
VNC displays the java gui locally on the server and sends back a MS painted
window to the PC screen
i.e. doesn't require X11 terminal emulation on the PC.

Even useable on a modem pity that some the functionality of the jnbSA is
busted.

On the original story - it seems that a few people have the problem.
Still awaiting some info from the vendor

Regards
Jim McDonald

I hate the Java gui too. However, if you're running it on the server but
displaying it back to a workstation, it may be worthwhile to check your
network performance to the workstation.

We were running it on a V880 solaris server with 4 GB of memory and
displaying back to an Ultra-5 with 128M memory. The performance of jnbSA
was abysmal.

However, when the NIC on the Ultra-5 was upgraded from 10mbs to 100mbs
the performance became almost acceptable.
