I guess you could call this program a poor man's emulator, although technically not so, it's VNC (Virtual Network Computing) at: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html I've got an old Toshiba laptop serving my 7500, I can view and use a W95 desktop on my Mac (and vice versa, there is both a client and server for each machine). You can do this from opposite sides of the globe if you know the current IP of the server machine. It's slow on a 56k modem connection, but when I get a PCMCIA ethernet card for the laptop, I should have a fairly decent Windows "emulator" for my Mac, or a Mac "emulator" for a PC if desired. You can tuck the server machine out of the way although it does need a monitor and at least a mouse to find out the IP number for the initial connection. Just thought an emulator geek might be interested in this tidbit ;-) Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
