Are you using a Win98 machine or another Linux machine as the "other"
computer?

Do you have Samba or NFS running? Is the Linux computer always available? Is
your other computer always available.

If the answer is yes to both, and you have the correct mountpoints setup, it
should be easy to do. Copy the files using Samba or NFS, then telnet to the
Linux render server and execute Povray. 

Might work?
