You *can* run apps such as the venerable "edit" fullscreen editor within Win2K telnet sessions; others - if truly MS-DOS applications - will have issues. I've been able to run Word 5.5 for DOS in a telnet session before, but I wouldn't bet on the average ca.-1992 MD-DOS app running correctly. Beyond screen issues, some implemented annoying CPU-sucking keyboard polling routines that ran in a tight loop; this will drag down performance of a Win2K system in no time flat. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
