I'm new to this stuff so please forgive me if I ask something foolish.
However, If I understand the architecture of a Terminal Enabled web
environment, the client downloads some OCX that enables him to logon to the
remote server. Is there also an opposite possibility, in which the OCX (or
some other OCX) enables the a user on the server to work on the client?

Thanks in advance

If the client runs XP, you can use Remote Desktop to connect to it.
Enable this in Control Panel - System - Remote.
Then you can connect from any other client or server, using the
Remote Desktop client.

Is this what you mean?

Thanks Mr. Noest,
After delving a little in the literature I think that your advise is good
but not precisely for my need (I beleave I was measleading a little). I'd
like to do that programmatically meaning to let an arbitrary client to
connect via Internet to my PC and the environment should let me control its
PC without intervention. I came across some OCX named SmartCode ViewerX
that looks like appropriate.
Can you approve that?
Have you some other recommendation?

Thanks in advance

After a bit of Googling, I found that SmartCode ViewerX is an
ActiveX control that allows you to build your own VNC client.
Why would you want to do that when there are free VNC clients
available?
And why would you want a VNC client when you can use Remote
Desktop?
