- Compatibility Statement
- Remotely Possible v3.0a is compatible with LANtastic NOS v4.xx.
-
-
- Product Overview
- Remotely Possible is a LAN remote control package for NetBIOS or IPX LANs
- that supports both text and graphics mode viewing and controlling of its hosts.
- Remote mouse control of Microsoft Windows 3.0 in all modes and of mouse-
- supporting DOS applications is also included. The host program cannot
- accommodate multiple viewers, but a similar effect can be achieved by running
- both the host and viewer on each PC and "daisy chaining" the connections. The
- viewer software may be run as a TSR or a DOS application. Optional password
- security is provided and the host software can be configured to allow viewing
- only.
-
-
- Test Equipment Configuration
- The following machines were used for Remotely Possible testing. All machines
- have VGA adapters installed and use Artisoft AE-2 NICs. Testing was
- completed using LANtastic NOS v4.0 with AILANBIO.EXE and AE2.EXE v2.03.
- Machines running as LANtastic peer servers are designated by (S).

- Product Installation Notes
- If Windows 3.0 support is needed, the recommended method of installing
- Remotely Possible is to run the Windows-based RPSETUP.EXE from the
- product diskette on each host PC. This will set up the correct drivers for
- remote Windows operation and transfer the software files to the desired
- directory. Note that after rpsetup is finished, Windows must be exited in order
- to install the host program in memory. In a DOS only environment, all that is
- necessary is to copy the program files from the product diskette to the PC's
- hard drive, then run a batch file called MAKE_NB.BAT to prepare the software for
- NetBIOS operation.
-
-
- Product Execution Notes
- Remotely Possible consists of two programs, HOST.EXE and VIEWER.EXE. A
- third program, HOSTMENU.EXE can be used to install the host with a pop up
- menu that allows the host program to initiate connections to viewers. The host
- program uses about 18K without menus and approximately 44K with the menus.
- The viewer TSR takes 38K of RAM. Some configuration information is specified
- on the host or viewer command line and detailed configuration is done from a
- "Setup" menu once the software is loaded. Once the host or viewer software is
- loaded, the menu can be popped up via a user definable hot key (defaults are
- alt-V for a viewer and alt-H for a host). From the menu, the user has a choice
- of making a remote control connection or entering the detailed configuration
- submenu. If remote mouse control capability is desired, a mouse driver must be
- installed before running the viewer program.
-
- Compatibility Notes
- No incompatibilities were found during testing.
