Hi,

It have been more than 1 month since I post this question to vmd mailing
list. Thanks for John Stone's helpful suggestion, I finally get vrpn
server running but I still cannot have Phantom and VMD working
together. I use phan_server.vrpn_06_03_GHOST_3_1.exe. Attached please
find my phantom.cfg, vmd.rc and vmdsensors and hope you can point out
mistake(s) I make during the setup. Your help will be greatly
appreciated.
