Gerard,
We are planning to upgrade our Meridian-Data CDROM server in mid-August.
Right now, it has uses CDNet (version 2.0), which is a graphical menu, to
select the CDROMs. Meridian-Data now incorporates something called
SlingShot (in CDNet version 4.0) which allows you to activate CDROMs from
your web browser.
See http://www.meridian-data.com/datasheets/ds_nt4.htm and
http://www.meridian-data.com/datasheets/nt4faq.htm for more details. You
might try giving them a call and see if that works for you.
