   Has anyone tried using one of the PC remote control software packages
   (such as CloseUp or Carbon Copy) over the Internet?  The idea would be
   to connect the controlling PC to a terminal server, Telnet to a
   milking machine, and then to the controlled PC.  Does anyone know
   authoritatively if such a thing is possible?

My gut feeling is that you're probably going to have to find a remote
control package that contains support for the INT14 interface. FTP
Software's PC/TCP allows you to TELNET to some host, and then invoke a
terminal-emulation package that supports INT14, and you get everything
you'd get from a 9600 bps dialup connection, with the exception of
session initiation. You have to TELNET, then fire up the emulator, and
once connected, you can't TELNET somewhere else without starting the
whole process over again. TELNETing to a router would alleviate this
last sticking point.

If you find a "Carbon Copy", "Close UP",-type thing that supports
INT14, I would also be interested in hearing about it. I looked last
year, and couldn't find anything.
