Ah, you mentioned Carbon Copy, which I used with great success back in
my DOS days. The Windows version, and programs like it such as
PC-Anywhere, are virtually unusable by JAWS users because they don't
really give you a client-server representation of the link between the
two computers; instead, they give you a graphic of the entire screen
with hot spots you can click on to do things on the other computer,
and somehow that gets translated into the appropriate commands on the
other system, but the screen graphic that represents the remote
computer's screen is totally inaccessible to us.
