If people want to run win32 apps over a phone line then they need
to run win95/nt at home. Netsearch for "remotely possable" for a
TCP/IP remote pc control client/server app.
Personally, I gave up. I run Linux on both sides of the PPP link
and use DOS/IPX apps via dosemu on the work side with telnet. I
used Reachout for a while with 95 but it was too unstable. I am
fighting Windoze apps at work as much as I can, but am loosing
the battle :( "remotely possable" was a passable solution and I
think it has a crippled freeware version. I may have to look it
up again myself *sigh*
Someone also impled here that X Windows wouldn't run over a PPP
link. This is highly untrue and the home side could be either
UN*X or Windoze.
Sorry for the non-linux content, but I didn't know who originally
asked this question but have seen enough posts to want it to stop
:-)
