Hi all

Although a bit off-topic, here you are my question:

I'd like to be able to control (ie: executing programs on it) a         
DOS + win3.1 box (let's call it A) via another machine               
(running FreeBSD or DOS, let's call it B).
The connection beetween A and B can be ethernet or a more complex one, 
ie: A - ethernet - gateway - telephone line - B (but I don't think this 
can be a problem since one can use tcp and netbios over tcp).

In Unix terms, the DOS pc should allow a sort of rlogin or telnet.

This is because it happens often that I have to troubleshoot box A, 
which is at the other end of the building or at the other end of the town.

Thanks
