Yup its very much for real, and has been around for a while.
I use it a lot to 'control' my home LAN. I have 3 NT machines at home,
connected to the internet via a cable modem. I sometimes like to talk to
them at school, so I just walk over to a internet capable win95/nt
machine at school and run the internet client (i carry it on a floppy).
This is over the universities T1.
I have also used it from a laptop, over a dialup 28.8. The client
program is really small. It can easily sit on a floppy, and run off it.
