Remote DLL configuration

Hi,

I'm writing an application in C# with the following architecture. I have a
remote application connected to an engine via remoting. Connected to the
engine are a series of plugins which are drivers for a particular piece of
hardware (currently on com ports). For each plugin, there is a unique
configuration (ie. different configuration parameters for each driver).
These drivers should be able to be configured in a gui window on the remote
application.

Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? Technically, it isn't
possible to spawn a window from a dll, but is it possible to have a gui
object of some sort coded and stored in the dll so that it can be retrieved
later by the engine and forwarded to the remote application to be displayed?
If this is possible, how would it be done? Any other suggestions? I'm sure
there is a better approach.

Please let me know if I'm not explaining this clearly or you need additional
information.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
