Is this for real!? Has anyone tried it? Sounds too good to be true! I've
seen a remote desktop facility for NT before and it had a bad habit of
crashing the NT machine on which the server was running. This software
sounds awesome though, if it works...
Yup its very much for real, and has been around for a while.
I use it a lot to 'control' my home LAN. I have 3 NT machines at home,
connected to the internet via a cable modem. I sometimes like to talk to
them at school, so I just walk over to a internet capable win95/nt
machine at school and run the internet client (i carry it on a floppy).
This is over the universities T1.
I have also used it from a laptop, over a dialup 28.8. The client
program is really small. It can easily sit on a floppy, and run off it.
