One idea I toyed with a while ago, was that since Win2K includes a 5 user
terminal server, was to see if I could hang a console server
(http://www.wti.com/netreach.htm) off the serial port, and establish a
terminal session to it.

If this is even possible, it has some limitations, like file transfers for
example.

Has anyone tried this?

I have been given the task of administering a web server contained within a
DMZ. I am OK with the admin side of things but would prefer for time reasons
to be able to remotely administer this machine. I have always used
PCAnywhere, VNC and the MMC. But I now cannot use these due to the security
risk. Does anyone else remote admin inside a DMZ and if so how??

All machine are NT 4.0, I use a W2K desktop. (Free would be nice, but I am
also interested if there are commercial solutions available).

Thanks in advance

Matt
