we use the software LANSCHOOL in our novell network. it is 
configurated per pc-classroom to display the master screen (any of 
the pc's will do) to all pc's that have loaded the slave software. 
central display is controlled with a simple hotkey. the master is 
also able to peek a specific slave during own work. whether the slave 
can call _online_ for assistance, i don't know. we experience some 
trouble with central display of graphical applications like windows, 
but there might be a special version of lanschool for this purpose.
i hope this is what you are looking for. jan verhoeven
