Scumbria, RE: The standard methodology for running random testing or regressions in a design project is to farm jobs from one machine out to a bank of other machines. NT does not have a robust capability for doing this. You are correct and even under UNIX this is usually supported by custom in house schedulers with pools of available cycles to burn. Suffice to say your company needs to port this capability to NT. It is not a trivial task as easy things become hard under NT, especially authentication. This is if anything an untapped market for software, batch support with queues, schedules, lockouts, groups, etc. The usual stuff, but dealing with the poor features of NT's AT command demand a better solution, perhaps the following link may help your IT group. camelliasoftware.com From the interactive/batch side, multi-version support is still a problem.
