Re: Questions...



We've just changed host and paid high setup fees, we can't change host now. My boss just asked me to build
a shopping cart, not to change all the hosting thing! :) I'll stick with Windows NT and use the
proprietary Minivend database. My problem is, I don't have any telnet access to the machine (guess
why...)...  NT doesn't offer remote control (may be I could ask my provider to install BO2000) :)) . The
only thing I have is a ftp account, I'll see what I can do with it. I know UNIX is better, I would have
used it if possible, but we got NT and I have to deal with that. Is there anyone here that installed
Minivend on a virtual Windows NT host? I begin to think it's not possible because of the lacking remote
control software.
