I am developing an application which needs a terminal server functionality at multiple locations. I am familiar with the terminal server features of Windows NT/2000, however my problem is that the multiple locations where i need to build this functionality has windows95/98 machines.
I have no problems accessing this machines because of the dial-up server component, however I need a terminal server for windows 95/98 (98 atleast) & a terminal client for the same to provide management access to these machines from my client location.
Kindly suggest some options & possibilities.

In Windows 98 you will have to install terminal server on each machine running Windows 98. You can find this on the Windows 98 cd.

Thin client application like TS in Win2k, and Metaframe from Citrix, aren't designed to be run FROM Win9x.
In fact, I just looked at Metaframe specifics, and the server component can ONLY run on WinNT/2K/XP. Now Win9x.
So I don't think you are gonna be able to set up a Win9x box as a terminal services server. Win9x can be a client only.

So, go with the suggestion of running a remote control program on the Win9x box instead. PCAnywhere from Symantec is a good one. CarbonCopy, Procomm Plus are two older ones.
There are a lot out there.
I am gonna officially recommend RemoteAdmin:
