"There are two main ways of doing desktop virtualization. One is to run
multiple operating systems on one PC. Another is to have one or more
operating systems running on a remote server, with the desktop
tunneling in to those other operating systems. Technology such as
Microsoft's Remote Display Protocol pipes keystrokes and mouse
clicks
to the server and a view of the screen back to the user."
Here is my question. I want to use terminal mode on the mac for many
things. As I understand it vo use is crude at best. Here is my
thought.
The dos screen readers afford far superior speech functionallity.
Using a
network or phone dialup into a unix or lynix shell dos provides perfect
speech access because the speech is done at the local machine.
I want to use a mac and something like fusion to run dos in one vm to
access mac terminal mode in the primary system. Does anyone see any
fundamental problems in this approach? I have an external synth using a
serial port. Can one use one of the usb to serial converters in this
capacity? Can one by usb port to usb port connection using a
communications application on the dos side access terminal mode
activity on
the mac side?
In dos days this was done on a regular basis when a unix system on a
network was used. The dos machine acted as the local terminal on which
speech to access the unix machine was used. The same is also possible
using a phone up isp connection to a unix or linux based net account.
Could
one use a network with this setup in one machine? Can one use
wireless for
same?
