There are devices like this available. BlackBox sells one: they call it the ServLINK, it lists for $6495.00 (no, that's not a typo). It apparently requires thair ServSwitch KVM switch (Keyboard / Video / Mouse switch) (also not cheap) so you can use it to control many systems. The "remote" computer runs pcAnywhere to communicate with this device. I would guess there are much less expensive devices available. But keep in mind, this isn't simple. The device must accept a video signal as input, and reconstruct the screen contents. Likewise it must generate keyboard and mouse signals. -Lee Allen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
