Subject: Anybody know of a way to run a PC app on a Sun

We have a network consisting of the following:
	Sun: 1 4/490
	     1 3/280
	     5 3/50's (diskless)
	     1 3/110's (diskfull)
	     10 SLC's (diskless)
	     5 IPC's (diskfull)
	     PC's with PC-NFS

We have users who run in house developed applications on their PC's. Does
anyone know of a method or a product that will allow users on a Sun workstation
to access their PC's and run the apps (on the PC's CPU), but with the 
screen/keyboard I/O going to/from the Sun (akin to a remote login).  Since
DOS is not mutli user and doesn't support logging in, I can't think of how
you would support this. I don't want to modify any code on the PC app, I 
want this to work seamlessly.

Thanks for any suggestions.
