2008 adds PowerShell and exposes a lot more admin features to the cli. I've never used
it but I hear you can do anything in the cli you can do in the GUI.

Mark,
The cmd environment is useful, like turning off a pc, say, to make your daughter go to
bed. ..
When the unix tools kit is installed a lot more functionality is available. May be I'm
too fond of ascii user interfaces...

I don't think that a CTERM listener exists for Pathworks32.
I don't think it has one, at least not in 7.4 that I have but I am waiting on getting
XP Pro so I can test the server side of PATHWORKS 32 as XP Home doesn't have the user
admin tools I need to make it work.
Frankly commandline access to Windows NT wouldn't be that useful anyway ;)
In general remote login on Windows machines are not that common. Not sure I've ever
seen a telnet server either (but I'm sure that DO exist).
Windows 2000 has a TELNET server IIRC. Naturally, I turned it off ;)
Windows machines are meant to be used locally, using the graphical interface. Not remotely
using a plain terminal.
Yes, Windows is generally a graphical environment and command terminal access is only
usually used for running UNIX-like stuff largely or running batch automation/unattended
install scripts and the like.
Remote access *is* quite common in Windows environments but it is mostly via Remote
Desktop/Terminal Services or something like Citrix handing out remote graphical desktops.
Remote command terminal access is very rare.
