Take a look at /pc/pd2/tr3-6.zip at uwasa.fi archives.  Available by
anonymous ftp.

Check out a commercially available package called CarbonCopy.  It does exactly
what you need.

Carbon Copy works pretty well, better than PCAnywhere III.  PCAIV was released
recently, and early reports say it is a good solid product with really
miserable support.

By the way, is there a telnet server available for the PC? I have looked
into this before and non were to be found. That was about a year ago.
We have many PCs on our network running TCP/IP, my machine included.
No modem for my machine though. So I was wondering if I can access my
machine remotely through the network. FTP servers yes, but is there
a telnet server or equivalent? Thank you.


Thomas.

I don't know if it'll be the kind you have in mind, but see
/pc/INDEX for the telnet programs on uwasa.fi anonymous ftp
archives.

One that I have briefly used is CARBONCOPY

advantage :     It works !

disadvantage :  You gotta pay for it :-)

You should also have a look at the shareware program TeleReplica (TR3-6.zip)
that is on SIMTEL-20 and probably elsewhere. It is an excellent program. Has 
file transfer capabilities etc. Doesn't handle graphics screens though.
