- This isn't really what I meant. Ok, I meant more to an analog to this:
-
- Under Unix, I telnet over to my Unix box, then run a compile or edit a file
- by running a local program who's output now appears at my local screen.
- For NT, it's already been said that a character based analog to this could
- be done, but it has limited usefulness because most programs that will be
- running under NT will have a GUI.
-
- So, why not just have a 'GUItelnet' session that let me 'log on' to my NT
- server box from my NT client machine and then run, say MSC 7.0 or WFW on
- the server machine with the GUI output going to my GUI client machine
- (similar to X-Windows, I guess is what I'm saying).
-
- The other question is that will this really not be necessary because once
- I've 'logged on' to my server machine from my client machine will NT be
- smart enough to automatically extend my server file resources and even
- possibly my server CPU resources to the tasks I am now doing on my client
- machine (using RPC & peer-to-peer file access).
-
- Another thought: NT supports multi-processing, so would it be possible for
- a server to extend it's processor to a client machine as an additional
- processor available to NT, or can you not 'share' a single processor like
- that? Perhaps submitting RPC jobs is a mechanism to do this?
