Re: [TCLUG:6866] Back Orifice 2000

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

In a trusted environment, one could use Back Oriface to remotely manage
Windoze workstations and servers.  There's also another product called
VNC.  It's a very useful tool for messing around with remote Windoze
workstations.  It works for NT as well.  If only it could be installed on
an unsuspecting NT machine via some rogue ActiveX applet... :-)  Anyway,
check them out at:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

It's free, btw...
