You speaking of NT Terminal Server edition. And yes it works and it'll cost you a wad of Microsoft Bucks. We use VNC; slow and somewhat sticky, but free. There are many other 3rd party utilities, one from Australia comes to mind [but I can't recall the name, but very fast and slick]. We also use VNC because, I have to get in from home and I only use Windoze at work. VNC is much nicer and faster when running on Linux. > -----Original Message----- > From: Franklin, Joel [mailto:jdfranklin.public@moheck.com] > Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 8:14 AM > To: KC Linux User Group > Subject: RE: Remote Admin [OT] > > > >Forgive my MS naivety. > Sure.
