Is there a program shell that will allow me to call my ST over the phone and 
have it run programs remotely, similar to what we do on Unix. I would prefer
to know about free/share ware programs, but also would like to know if 
programs such as Minix will do this.  

I assume the only programs that you can do this with would be TOS programs,
seeing how GEM would not work over the phone.  I am thinking along the lines
of running ARC or any other .ttp program to de-arc files while I am sitting
at work.

I also downloaded a file called UNIXTK.ARC or something from Terminator, but 
there were no readable instructions inside.  Could someone please tell me what
all those files are for?  I recognized many with Un*x command names, but still
don't know what they are all for.

Thanks.

Oh, either send me e-mail or post it to the NET.
