	Let's face it:  my father will never be more than an (shudder!) 
"end-user" of his IBM PC.  After all these years, I have learned to live with
it, although sometimes it does get a little difficult ('What's the command to 
see what files are on a disk?').  

	In light of this, I would like to set up Procomm on his hard disk such
that I can call into his PC and do whatever I need to to fix his screwups, with-
out requiring him to do anything more than turn it on and start the program.  I
have read through the documentation I have on Procomm (unfortunately, it's from
V2.4), and have tried everything I could think of, including verifying that I am
correctly following the carrier detect signal from my modem, but I still have no
luck. 

	Has anyone else set up Procomm in this way?  I really need to be able to
do some work on Dad's PC, and trying to talk him through the fixes over the
phone is incredibly frustrating.  It's also expensive:  he's in Philadelphia,
and I'm in Placentia!  If anyone else has done this sort of thing, could you 
please EMail me copies of your settings for both host and user end?  My blood
pressure could really use the help!!


	Thanx,
