I'm sure this message has been posted before but I'm wondering if there is any way at all to run a DOS Box (or DOS Program) in full screen mode under Terminal Server, besides using Citrix? If not, is Citrix tricky to set up and configure? We are currently connecting to Terminal Server with Windows NT 4.0 workstations through a VPN.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Niall
 
Hey.
I've never done anything with just TSE. Citrix Metaframe is the coolest piece of software I've ever used. Only thing it costs an absolute fortune. I wouldn't say its hard to install, altho' configuring it to do exactly what you want can be tricky when its new to you, but that time-investment is well worth it.
However, I am a bit sceptical of your 'DOS program', many DOS programs will not work with NT at the best of times (because of the HAL, Hardware Abstraction Layer, the bit of NT that stops dodgy DOS apps talking direct with hardware and stuffing up the whole system). TSE and Citrix work a bit differently to standard NT, in that applications that you publish must allow multiple connections simulateously.
Why do you want to use DOS in this way?
Pritch.
