Hello. I'm wondering if it's possible to place a plain CRT (or preferably an
LCD panel) monitor in a strategic indoor location so that people who work in
the building can see particular information. That is, if I have a database
that displays schedule information on the user's screen, is there a way to
"pipe" that information (through a LAN) to a monitor/display that's in a
particular location (kind of like if the monitor has its own IP address)? I
need to be able to take local or "one-user" screen information and have it
displayed publicly (but still on the LAN). Do I have to have a dedicated PC
to drive each monitor?

I'm not interested in those airport-style LED message boards. It's similar,
but rather than this type of display, I need a standard video display. Help,
please?

There are "photo frames" that connect to the net and display info without
the need for a computer. I think they connect to the net through a moden
dialup and fetch data from the web.
