yes, (ssh would be proffered, but since the current unix boxes don't
come with it installed, that would not be backwards compatible for
people w/ older unix systems, although it can be installed)

I meant any of the configurators: ICC, IACC, IEE. I would like for the
control configuration stuff to be accessible from any workstation on
the network. so that i do not have to have a dedicated engineering
station in each of the control rooms. there are lots of things that I
only fell comfortable changing in the actual control room with the
operators present. I currently have this with unix, but I think i
would lose it if we went to a windows IEE type system?

and that has spoiled me. I like being able to get the ICC from ANY station.
