Has anyone using LWP 4.1 with the XPC program noticed that the server PC (
the host with XPC loaded) must be at a DOS prompt for XPC to respond to an 
incoming Telnet session?  Is there a way around this?  It would be nice to 
be able to telnet to your office PC, start up a process (say a program 
compile, or a large database sort), break the connection (Control-x, q) and 
then be able to telnet in later to check on it's progress *while the program 
is still running on the host PC*.  Or as another example, have an endless 
loop batch file running on the host PC to always force the incoming telnet 
session to a particular application.  But alas, when this is done, the 
host PC acts like it's busy and won't respond.....

Part of what I'm after could also be achieved if it was possible to tell 
XPC to do some command upon a successful connection (like run a batch file) 
or upon a broken connection (say...reboot the PC).....any Novellers out 
there with any suggestions??

Thank you much!!!!


Regards -

Dan
