I'm just jumping in here without knowing anything about WebTrends (so feel
free to tell me to shut up if I'm out to lunch here), but I think you'd have
to FTP the log files down to the PC before processing, or use something like
Samba (on the Alpha) to create a Windows-style share for the log directory
that the PC could connect to.

For those that don't know, Samba lets your Unix box look like an NT machine
with file and print shares your Windows clients can connect to.  I can't say
for sure, but I think it's free.
