Haha, wouldn't that be nice if MS had those nice features. Windows 98 really has nothing quite like that. Windows 2000 has a telnet server that you can install. With that you can telnet in and do many tasks. There is no GUI though, so, that is sort of annoying. Windows XP does have a tool for remote administration of a computer. However, in my opinion it does not meet up with the same security as I would like to see in a product of this type. If you want to remote admin a windows computer, in general, something like back orifice or sub seven may be able to help you out. These programs are typically seen as programs that someone uses on a computer to gain access that they are not supposed to have or to watch what someone else is doing, however, they can also be used and were really intended for remote administration. Both programs are free. For nice security info, etc, goto www.astalavista.box.sk You can find links to the programs there if you run a search. --Lance P.S. Isn't a real UNIX system nice? Ah, how I love SGIs, HPs, Compaqs (DECs) and other nice commercial UNIXes.
