Re: Need Remote Control of a CE 5.0 device.

Depending upon what that allowed us to do it might. This is mainly for our
tech support people to be able to connect to and control a CE device via
TCP/IP to try to troubleshoot when our application or the device does not
appear to be working correctly. Some of the things they do are peruse the
file system and check disk space (Windows Explorer), view text log files
(Wordpad/Notepad), look at the networking configuration and things like
that. I really need to focus on developing my application and not a remote
control app so I don't think I will be given time to do much developing as
in writing an ISAPI extension. I'll read up on Web Server and the remote
web browser.

Thanks for the input.
