Executing

Further to Chris Behrens' question:

>Can we execute a program residing on PC #1 from PC #2 by using telnet or
>other means ??

Yes.  We do it all the time using a TSR program on the
remote PC (#1) to provide Telnet server function, allowing
the remote PC console to be effectively emulated on the
local PC (#2), using Telnet client services.

As a matter of fact, using a Macintosh as the client machine
I can control and display the "virtual screens" of
half-a-dozen remote PCs, each running in its own window on the
Mac display screen, so I can alternately access any of the
remote PCs by clicking on their window to activate it.  The
multiple Telnet sessions on the client Mac are maintained
concurrently.  The same could be done with Windows on a
PC/DOS machine but our SU-PC/IP software has not been
adapted to Windows, while that is the normal Mac environment.

Ask the supplier of your TCP software if they provide Telnet
server TSR program support that permits remote PC operation.
If you are a degree-granting institution of higher
education, we could probably supply you our version or you
could ask Wollongong for it if you run their TCP/IP
software.  We have not been including the Telnet server code
in our distributions to educational institutions nor is it documented
so we would only provide it on an as-is basis with zip support.
If other providers of commercial PC TCP/IP products would like to
license our Telnet server TSR for incorporation in their products, we
will gladly supply it.
