Better yet if your concern is to simply control the interface that came with
your
pegasus then just use Netmeeting's Remote Administration server. Netmeeting is
a
free net conferencing package from MS but it has a couple of other features.
One
is that you can take over your friend's computer that you are talking to OR you
can set up a dedicated netmeeting adminstration server on say an nt box and they
remotely log in to it and admin the system. Works really swell.
