- In UNIX System Administration Handbook, there is a good program designed to
- allow one host running TCP to act as a server for a secons host. You'd
- need to connect the two via some TCP method (Ether is probably the best idea)
- but after that, you could get that program a running, and you would be set.
-
- The program I speak of is "remote', and is in appendix n. There is an FTP site
- for these programs as well, but right now I can't remember the name. I'm
- sure someone will be glad to refresh my memory. :)
-
- Hope this helps,
