So far, a good experiment, but am looking for any help with these:

- Having trouble tracking down VNC 3.3.3 or any kind of remote-desktop. Radmin 2.2 requires NT4.
- Apparently Task Scheduler is missing and upon research appears to be an NT4 thing, I supposed I could write something crude on my own but if there is a scheduler or Cron clone for NT 3.51 I'm all ears / eyes.
- Zoob Telnet Server runs but does not spawn an NTVDM session on an incoming connection, so... am in dire need of virtual-modem software or a telnet server which can pass to a DOS BBS system. Netcom/NetFoss requires 2000/XP.
- I need a program that can run from the NT 3.51 command prompt which will send emails. Blat works but only on 2000/XP.
- Same with Wget, another 2000/XP goodie that would be nice.
- The Taskkill command from 2000/XP or a similar program to kill programs from the command line.

As noted, this is all being ran on a Tandy 2500SX/33, not an emulator.

This Tandy has 12 megabytes of RAM, Trident 8900C video card, Aztech/Packard Bell sound card/Modem combo, 3Com Etherlink III and an Arco IDE Raid controller powering two 512mb DOM's.

All of this just an experiment to see if I can run a telnettable DOS BBS on this system. The programs detailed above are used in various batch files on a system I run now.

Any help appreciated, its a challenge finding these things. For example I did find the NT 3.51 driver for the Colorado 1400 tape drive...... after mooching terabytes of the entire mirror of HP's FTP site from archive.org all to extract a small 60k driver.

I would prefer to run NT 3.51 because the OS alternatives for this experiment are either completely half-assed (OS/2) or completely unreliable (Windows 95).

Yes, in theory it could just run plain DOS 5 with Desqview/386 and RLFOSSIL but I would have no way of really remotely-accessing things easily like I could with RDP/VNC/Radmin etc.

The at command should be usable instead of task scheduler.
At /?

But if it's just that you want to run vnc server on boot, look into how to create a service, or drop the shortcut in the allusers start menu start up folder. Service is better.

Sc command might exist but the syntax is likely different.

Sc /?

3.3.7 is supposed to work on 3.51
