Bonjour Patrice,
I have had it running with a very similar configuration to yours except
that the CPU's were just quad Xeon 450's. I will even raise you the fact
that it wasn't only running NT Server but NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
plus MetaFrame and it worked great. I would connect remotel

"Connection Options", and look for the "Scale by" setting in the "Display"
section of the dialog box. Configure as needed and click OK. That's all
there is too it.

If you also need it available for desktop maintenance (without requiring to
prompt the user), you might be able to schedule it (using the task
scheduler) to shutdown and then re-start it up in a mode that does not

Hi Erik,
You may want to ask yourself the following questions when choosing a

With the exception of the TridiaVNC and possibly the TightVNC solutions,
any other tweak that gets rid of the icon could result in loss of support

Hi there,
Check out PCREMOTE by PC Magazine. It was first published (as far as I
know) on January 16th, 1990 and can be found on the web by searching for
V9N01.ZIP.
The only drawback is that it only works over a COM port. If you can work
this into your system, this might just be what you have

Hi Dave,
I don't suppose you might consider using TightVNC instead of WinVNC as your

Sorry, I haven't been following the thread.
If you are Windows 9x/ME, try switching to TightVNC. WinVNC has a problem
that causes it to deplete system resources if the connection is too slow,
resulting in a system crash.
If you are using any other OS, please disregard.

Keep in mind that there is no standard TCP/IP stack for DOS so you may have
a bit of a hard time finding remote take over software that will work over
the Internet.
If you want to dial-up, there is a free solution from PC Magazine (I think
it was called something like PCREMOTE).
ust out of curiosity, is there a reason you can't run your DOS application
in a Windows environment? It is sometimes easier to get your application
