Hi...
Have you ever thought about the use of some X-Server for Win95 (MIX is free for non
commercial use)? In this case, you could simply open an xterm window into Win95
boxes and run whatever you need to show diald status.
This simple approach could solve the problem in the beginning while someone develops
some other better solution, probably using process communication with sockets.
