and on the other machine

head = avatar.getBone('Bip01 Head')
head.lock()
def onNetwork(e):
    head.setEuler(e.euler, viz.AVATAR_WORLD)

I tried that and I repeatedly get a few errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Vizard16356785347376.py", line 51, in onNetwork
    person1.setPosition(e.pos)
AttributeError: 'NetworkEvent' object has no attribute 'pos'

My code is as follows; the beginning only has a few notes for me to get started and to work on. :

#This demo is for testing online interactions between two players.
#The players will spawn up and be able to see each other's avatars.
#Both players will be able to select an avatar by a dropdown menu
#similar to the one in quest.viz. 
#A chat will be enabled, the color of the inbox text will be light blue,
#and the color of the outbox text will be darker blue.
#The chat will reside on the right side of the screen. The dropdown menu
#will also be able to hide or show the chat by selecting the option
#similar again in quest.viz.
#I want to have it be a co-operative mission, where one person will talk
#to the patient and the other will be able to get supplies and hand them
#to the first person.
#Names are also something to look into. Maybe in the future,
#when you spawn up, there will be a floating name above your character.
#The prefix "Dr. " is desirable in the names.
