I'm hoping to setup something similar in the near future, i.e. using DCOM=
 so I
can run CDJ from any PC on the network.  Two problems with the need to =
exit CDJ
on one system before being able to run it on the other:

1.  I could be on the other end of the house when this need occurs.  Any
suggestions for solving this without walking to the other end of the =
house &
back, other than using remote control software?  (Of course, if I used =
remote
control software I could just run CDJ from the one PC!)

2.  CDJ turns off the CD players.  Then it's slow starting up again, even=
 after
it turns the CD players back on.  Is there any way to avoid having CDJ =
turning
off the CD players on exit?  Is there any way to speed up CDJs startup?

What's VNC?

Do you know if DCOM & the rest of this setup will work on Win95 systems =
(both
server & some clients)?  (Other clients are Win98SE.)
