I've been trying to use Procomm to call into another PC and shell to DOS,
so that I can work on that machine.  I'm working at home from a NEC Multispeed
and I'm trying to log onto a 386 or sometimes a 286, which are much more
useful to do some work on.  Has anyone tried this?  I'm able to log on
and shell to DOS, but I cannot run software such as QUATTRO or anything
that requires "good" graphics.  The NEC has an LCD if you don't know.  When
I start up the software it runs on the other machine (if the enhanced graphics
are required) and my machine appears hung untill it completes.  

I've heard of Procomm Plus (I only have Procomm) and I'm wondering if
it is a lot better.  Does it let you use com3 or even com4?  Where could
I get a copy?  I have no access to SIMTEL or BBS.

Thanks,

Marcell
