	While you really cannot login to a DOS PC like a unix host, there
is a program called telnetd that allows you to type to the keyboard and
seen the display remotely using a vt100 terminal and tcp/ip.  

	It's clunky, but it gets the job done.  I don't recomment you use
it if soneone can access your PC wile you are away.  They can see what you
type, and you can see what they type. 

	FYI the URL is:

	ftp://knot.queensu.ca/pub/msdos/tcpip/wattcp/telnetd.zip
