Why reinvent the wheel? MS$ has the standard Unix RSH client built-in to WinNT and its descendants (not sure about Win98 and it's bretheren), and the server (RshSvc) is available from the Win2K Resource Kit, or the Windows Services for Windows. This will work for all command-line interfaces. I'm not sure about pseudo-graphicals like EDIT, but since that's just DOS line drawing characters, I don't see why that wouldn't work, too.
If you need a true graphical interface, you can use Windows Terminal Services, but then, this is not a scripting issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, February 3, 2004 4:25 am Subject: RE: implement a simple Telnet "like" Daemon in perl > Hi all, > > I was not able to get any replies, as the mailing list was acting > up, and i > was not recieving any mail. now i am able too.
