Ack, please Harjit, next time don't include the entire digest in your
message. Especially when your question has nothing to do with any of
the digest messages. :P

Ok, uh, access a remote Windows NT server. Do you mean a RAS server
running on NT? If that's what you mean, then OpenTransport PPP, or
FreePPP would work fine for connecting to it. Um, this assumes
that you have the RAS server configured to accept cleartext
(unencrypted passwords.) This should be in the manuals for Microsoft
NT.

Maybe you meant access an NT server's file and print shares. For
that, you'd need DAVE, which adds the SMB stack to the Mac.

Or you could turn on Services for Macintosh on the NT server, and just
connect to it with the regular AppleShare client that comes with the
Mac. This should also be in the manuals for Microsoft NT.

And finally, if you were talking about a remote NT application server,
like Citrix WinFrame or M$ Windows Terminal Server + MetaFrame, you
could get the Citrix ICA client for Macintosh, available freely at
http://www.citrix.com/

Enough options there? Heh, would've helped if you were more specific
in your question, but oh well, i'm feeling generous this morning. :}
