You can do it on anything with a network connection of some sort and at
least something akin to telnet or better. That pretty much includes all
machines from old 8bit clunkers upwards (and probably downwards as

Of course, being able to be connected to and have programs run on you
has been much more the preserve of the unix/vms systems until recently.
