I am attempting to use co-session to talk to a pc hooked into a Novell network with less than satisfactory results - i.e. the machine locks up at arbitrary points and that's all the session can handle Specifically I am interested in finding out if anyone has successfully used cosession or pc anywhere or relay gold to achieve remote access to a Novell Network. The company I work for wants the cosession type of access because it lets them use their normal word processors etc. Thanks in advance

The company I used to work for during college (three letters, blue) used Novell as a backbone to many of their projects. One project called for the ability to remotely use the network system. We tried many different communication programs and software similiar to CoSession. The results of our testing showed that the best application program for OUR needs was Carbon Copy Plus by Meridian Technology. It allowed the remote workstation to perform all the tasks the normal workstation could perform. It even allowed rebooting of machines without lose of control of the line (this when it was set up properly). We could do everything. Check it out. **************************************************************************** * Thank You, texbell!letni!rwsys!trsvax!slimer * * Bill "To VAR is human, to OEM divine!" - ComputerWorld * * George W.

Close-Up shell must be loaded on the ComServer before anything else, but the IPX and NET3 shells must be loaded first. The graphics screen must be the same on both ends, I believe.

I second the suggestion of using Carbon Copy Plus. I've been using it for support with three of my clients. Works great and the only program that has caused it trouble is Windows (VGA graphics and 2400 baud just don't mix). My favorite feature (available in most other remote use programs) is the dial-back. The clients like it because it won't allow Joe Random Hacker to connect to their net. I like it because I don't get stuck with long distance charges for my connect time. (Now if I could just convince this one client to get their fax machine off the modem line.) Jeff Wallace, Experimental Computing Facility (XCF), U.C.
