Is there a PD or commercial package that would allow me to dial into DOS, emulate a VT100 during the connection and allow me to use the system commands as if I were next to the box (6300+)? Also is there one that will allow that remote login as well as a local user? -- _ __ () ' ) ) _/_ /\ / _/_ _/_ /--' _ / _ / ) _. /_ ______ o / / / </_<__</_ /__/__(__/ /_/ / / <_<_<___<__ UUCP: ihnp4!tsc!pete

Carbon Copy, Carbon Copy+, and PC Anywhere all allow remote dial-in and submission of commands. The packages allow users at both ends, but they must be performing the same task (i.e., working on the same document or spreadsheet). This is a limitation of DOS.

PC-Anywhere ios a good package to allow dial in to your PC from anywhere using any of the 30 defined terminal types. EKD Computer Sales and SUpllies Corp. 764 Middle Country Rd. Selden, NY 11784 516-736-2111 I have no ties with them except as a satsified user of PC-Anywhere. There are other packages but they require you to run software at both ends. -- Michael A.

There's a DOS called Wendin-DOS which allows multiuser, multitasking,
including on a dialup line, I think. It has access protections much like
VAX VMS does. It's basically a mixture of MS-DOS, Unix, and VMS.
You might have to write a little program that monitors the modem and
waits for a connect prompt. If you set it up right, though, your files
aren't accessible until the user uses the LOGIN command.
Hope this helped...

I looked into this once, and it seems that if you had a program like Desqview or DoubleDos, you could start a local COMMAND.COM in the foreground partition, while "CTTY"ing the background COMMAND.COM out the serial port. Alternatively, start COMMAND.COM in the background partition with the following C program or equivalent: main() { freopen("com1", "r", stdin); freopen("com1", "w", stdout); freopen("com1", "w", stderr); /* insert code for login and password here if wanted */ execl("c:/command.com", "command.com",NULL); } Anybody ever try this sort of thing? I abandoned it because I installed UNIX on my AT clone, which makes it eminently more suited to multi-user, multi-tasking operation than it was under DOS :-) ... Wolf Paul ihnp4!killer!wnp

Try PROCOMM. It's availiable on almost any bbs that has IBM software. It has a host mode that is protected by 2 levels of password security, allowing you to bring up a dos shell or whatever shell is specified by the COMSPEC environment variable. >Also is there one that will allow that remote login as well as >a local user? I've used it in host mode in a DESQVIEW window, while bringing it up in terminal mode in another window and calling up the first window and transferred a file across, all on the same pc (2 modems and phone lines required). Granted this is not exactly the most efficient way of doing things, but I was just checking to see if it would work. I haven't tried it with DOUBLEDOS, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work just as well. --Tom -- Tom Hoff (...!hplabs!hp-sdd!hoff) "Dammit Jim, I'm a programmer not a spokesman!"

One of the most popular is called Carbon Copy. PC Magazine did a nice review of the them in the last issue. PC-Anywhere was their choice as best. Scott Strool (picuxa!ssb)

* Here are some dialup packages that allow you to control a PC from another. 1) Carbon Copy Plus - Meridian Technology. 2) Remote - Microstuf 3) pcANYWHERE - Dynamic Microprocessor Associates 4) CloseUp - Norton-Lambert 5) In-sync - American Video Teleconferencing Corp. 6) (I can't remember but I saw it advertised in Infoworld or PC Week about 1-2 weeks ago) The 1st 4 were the 1st 4 I became aware of. CloseUp was rated highest in reviews I read but that was before Carbon Copy became CC Plus. So I don't know which of those 2 might be #1 now. Hope this helps.

I called DMA and they arranged to download the latest release that same day. It works GREAT! It is really just like you are sitting at the remote machine, with only a very slight delay. We rejected Carbon-Copy Plus because it requires two copies of the program, one to dial from and one to dial into. PC-ANYWHERE gives you a program called ATERM to dial into the remote site with the package, and encourages you to use it. Additionally, PC-ANYWHERE emulates a god-awful long list of terminals, including DEC, IBM, and HP types, in case you insist on using your own emulator. I, of course, have no financial interest in DMA, etc... But they can expect an order for 18 more copies to come down the pipe real soon now. -- Signed: John McLendon uccjcm@ecsvax.UUCP (919) 846-7931 (home) jcm@duke.UUCP (919) 962-3228 (work) uccjcm@tucc.BITNET
