RE: My provider runs Windows NT



Mark,

Depending on your connection either one of these products can help you:

telephone:  PCAnywhere, free trial version available at thier site.
isdn or higher:  PCAccess

Be advised that PCAccess will work over a phone line, but the packets it transmits are usually too large to be easily handled by phone.  These products fall into the category of "remote-control" applications.  They allow you to use your mouse and keyboard as if they were on the computer you are dialing into and then send 5-10 screen shots of the computer you are "dialed" into.  PCAnywhere even allows you to log-off of the computer you are dialed into and log back on.

The Minivend documentation states the following .

>My provider runs Windows NT

>MiniVend is unlikely to work on Windows NT ISPs in the near future. If you have
a dedicated NT machine, there is a version of MiniVend for Windows NT. It
may work well for you, but there are differences in operation from the UNIX
version (mostly due to NT's lack of fork() or and lack of threading support
in Perl).

Can somebody please advise why this is so ? I have minivend running on NT
and I haven't had any problems.

BTW if I do persuade my NT ISP to install minivend for me can anyone tell me
how I can start and stop the server remotely.

Thanks

Mark
