SANCB Request (fwd)

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  If they are asking about GUI access to Linux, the answ is no.  If
they wan console access to Linux, the answer is yes.  The fact they
mention JFW makes me think they mean GUI access.  Is it possible to find
out more information on exactly what they want to do?
