Well, I've used perl on NT with the Net::Telnet module to log into a FreeBSD machine a do some work, then when it's done do some more work on the NT machine. I don't know if that exactly addresses your problem since you wanted to do them both at the same time. You could sync the time on the NT machine with an ntp client and run an ntp server on the FreeBSD machine, but depending on that seems to Just Not Feel Right (tm). I'm sure there are other solutions, the nature of the tasks may provide for other options. > Best Regards and thanks in advance, > > Chan * Joseph M.
