RE: Want to start remote desktop thru the CGI script

Tom,
Sorry if I am not able to explain it.

What I want to provide is a page with some machine Id's.
So once somebody clicks the hyperlinks , it should remote
desktop instead of telnet.

Is it not possible ?

The current script is triggering a telnet session.The same way
it cannot do that ???

Just clarifying..
~Alok

So, you want to run a program on the computer at the browser's end of
the connection, not the server's?

Browsers shouldn't be able to run arbitrary external programs without
manual intervention, so when I want to run a program at the browser's
end of the connection, I ask somebody at that end of the connection to
run the program.

Hope this helps!
