It has a facility called "host mode" that will allow the PC to answer the modem, and let you "logon". Once you get passed the password check, you can then take over the system. All keyboard and output that would normally have gone to your normal keyboard and screen, now is funnelled through the modem. As long as you don't invoke a program that reads and writes the video (e.g. a full screen editor) you remain in complete control. I've used this to get stuff to/from my home machine when I am at the office. -- --------------------- Steve Harrold ...hplabs!hpsmtc1!swh HPG200/13 (408) 447-5580 ---------------------
