>I used to use CarbonCopy to do that. Humm... now that I think about it, I might have an old version of CarbonCopy that will work with DOS.
However, don't you have to start CarbonCopy and then run programs from within it? What I want to accomplish is be able to remotely connect to a DOS machine that is already running a program, and have it seem like I am sitting in front of it, so I can interact with the program running as if I was at the computer's physical keyboard. >what apps are you running on the DOS boxes? just text? Yup, text only. Both are "psudeo" servers. That is, they are running control software for a system we use at work. It either one "hiccups" it can take down the system, and keep people from doing their job (read: we pay people to do nothing at that point). Currently, when things go wrong at night, I have to drive back to the office to do nothing more than type in a few commands to reset things. If I could remotely log in on demand, and the software will let it act like I am sitting at the physical computer, then I could get the systems back up much faster (less wasted payroll) and avoid the drive back to work. Because I need to interact with the running software as if I was right there, I don't think telnet will work as every telnet system I have seen starts you a "new" command.com if you will, so I won't be able to interact with the running software. Since VNC lets me do just what I want with Macs and Windows, I figured it was a good thing to try for DOS (and along that thought, maybe I can just upgrade my two DOS machines to NT Workstations, and run the software inside a DOS session, thus giving me access to VNC and the running DOS app at the same time... I just have to test the stability of my DOS software in those condidtions.) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
