I bumped into kind of a neat idea the other day. A site
http://www.buddyhelp.com
which allows one user to see and in fact control the other computer. I have
used
it a couple of times for demos instead of Carbon Copy because I was showing
a
program I wrote that does things on the net so it would have been difficult
almost
anyother way, Although I have connected with CC on the net it was deadly
slow.
Although there is always a big delay and more so on the net as opposed to
being directly connected.
It does offer economic and connectivity advantage if it were accessable to a
screen
reader. I do a fair amount of sockets kind of work and I guess you could do
some
things with direct connect and either command line or even screen reads,
although
the later would be mighty slow.
Let me know if you want to try the buddyhelp.com thing and we can set
something
up.
Thanks
Barry
