Hi,

Probably covered in some FAQ somewhere....
After the RAS client (NT4 workstation) has made it's connection,
it runs it's script to log into the remote system.  All very nice.
Is there some way to get it to also automatically run an arbitary
command upon connection, say "finger status@gate.demon.co.uk"?

Cheers

Matt

There was a nice Dial-Up networking front end called FreeDUM which (if I 
recall correctly) could do this for you.  Just search for it on TUCOWS or 
one of the other shareware sites.
