- Enlan DFS will work very well for you. It includes software to remotely run
- CLI applications on the remote machines. There is a shareware application
- included which will allow you full GUI and mouse/keyboard control of the
- remote computer, just as if you were sitting in front of it. This only
- works with standard Amiga screen modes. If the remote system is running a
- Cybergraphics screen mode for example, the "remote GUI" option cannot be
- used.
-
- Be aware, though, that software (like the Toaster) that references actual
- hardware can only be run on the machine that actually has that hardware
- installed in it. For example, you won't be able to control the Toaster from
- a remote machine. But you would have full access to the drives on the
- Toaster system, including the Flyer drives, or the PAR drives on the system
- that has the PAR.
