Joe, Microsoft has something called "NetMeeting", a collaboration tool that will be fully available (-> W95 -> NTS40 -> NTS3.51-> Mac, UNIX) over the next eight months. The telnet solution is a great short-term solution (heh, heh -- 14 years and counting) but you'll be able to share apps later. Right now, under Digital UNIX, I use strictly Web/HTML/CGI/Frame front-ends to access all functions within Informix. What makes it possible is the "isqlperl" (for Perl 4) and "(isqlperl-ized "commandline "sql"" replacement for isql) that is easy to drive from CGI/Perl scripts. Will begin ports to WNT 4.0 after I move some ISP online registration scripts and databases over.
