I provided the wrong DOS command in this reply. The command that I
should have said is "Net Use".

I am not sure if this is really related to the thin client discussion
but I have had success running Jaws and Dragon locally while accessing
the agency network without having the these products installed on the
network servers. This has been accomplished by using the DOS inet
command and mapping the network data drive to the local work station.
Of course in order to use the data on the network drives I need to have
the application (Word, Outlook, or other software product) installed on
the PC I am using.
