I have trouble wording my subjects .... Basically, I wanna know if there is software out there that lets me have a java based graphical web-browser using a connection through a shell account on a linux system.

Basically, User is on an intranet with limited internet access... wondering if I can setup my linux box at home to run a websever that I can loginto, then browse the web through my home connections w/out any firewalls attached blocking access to the net. I can't even get to weather.com to check the weather warnings from work, but I can use tek-tips!!!
This would be nifty, and I'd love to play with the software. Or does anyone know of a current existing version of this?
Thanks! -Happen609

So you are looking for a Web Browser written in Java that will access your home machine and the use the home machine to route web pages to your browser at work? I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for but chances are if you are looking for a Linux based piece of software, will have it.
 
Want a program that will let me graphically browse the web through a shell connection located on a remote computer from a separate location via the internet connection.

Computer 1 is at home, running a linux system and it lets me login from work using the internet. I then utilize the remote computer (the one at home) to browse the web among other things using that computer's connection - Not the internet connection at work. Any software that lets me do that?

Thanks. -JPeters
