This may be a question without a solution, because the faqs say there isn't
a server for Win 3.11 but if anyone could suggest a solution, VNC or
alternative, I'd be grateful.
I have an old 486 running WFWG 3.11 which I'm using as a print server for a
home network and for backup of data files off other machines onto it's hard
drive. At the moment it's running with a monitor attached as I have to exit
Windows gracefully to avoid corrupt files rather than just giving it a
three finger salute. Also I occasionally have to review the screen. It's an
awful waste of a monitor which I'd rather transfer to another machine for
the kids. The other machines on the network are Win98SE but I don't think
the 486 is up to Win 95/98. I'd like to leave it running WFWG, which works,
but have the ability to control it remotely and detach the monitor. A
friend recommended VNC based on his experience at work but I seem to be too
far behind the technological curve for it. I have mused about putting Linux
or something on the 486 but so far I don't speak any version of *nix and
I'm not sure if the services would function properly with Win98.
Does anyone know of a potential solution, either with VNC or some other program?
