actually, most secured networks will stop this from working as remotely as
the requestor mentioned he'd like to use this tool.  Unless inside the
chewy center, and possibly even then, depending upon the policy enforced,
all the ports of access should be closed.  Course, since all the
worms/trojans/viruses that do their work on ports 135-139 and the even
nastier 445 et. al. prove that some policies enforced are pretty soft and
chewy from the get-go.

Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
