Sounds like a fun trip. 🙂 Or maybe there will be a software improvement that prevents those sorts of situations. After all, under WinNT, it's easier to have more than one process sitting on those remote machines, as a sort of watchdog. If nothing else, it would be an interesting way to network render with a friend or cooperative site. Transferring large scenes would take a while, of course, but it would work. The first example they give of this is to connect to Microsoft's ftp site via LAN Manager. Then you can use File Manager to browse their site. As convenient as your average Web browser or GUI ftp, but more well-integrated and tested, I suppose. 🙂
