RCONSOLE (NetWare)

Novell NetWare's RCONSOLE feature works at the NOS level to provide full
remote access to a NetServer running NetWare 4.11. Installation of RCONSOLE
requires specific setup steps at both the console and NetServer before you can
establish an RCONSOLE communications link. Only the NetServer needs to be
running NetWare/IntranetWare; the RCONSOLE program can be run from a
DOS prompt. Thus, the only software requirement is that the client has access to
DOS

The following figure shows how RCONSOLE works on a NetServer running
NetWare.
