Message-ID: <2885@arcturus> Date: 30 Nov 88 23:14:16 GMT Organization: Rockwell International, Anaheim, CA Lines: 26 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, Mitch @ Rockwell, Anaheim Disclaimer: I got Procomm from a guy I met on a streetcorner in LA.
