Ahh, in the past when this came up it was usually the audio where various solutions would fail. The issue goes back about two decades when the RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol was developed. Back then most remote server machines didn't do much important with audio besides beep, so the

What about using a vnc remote connection? You could vnc in to the mac from the windows machine. Or if your going the other wway you can get the Microsoft remote desktop connection app which gives you RDP connectivity between the mac and a widnows machine. -Original Message- From:

NO, I was thinking of Apple Remote Desktop which is describe pretty well in this Wikipedia entry: The standard protocol that this currently uses is VNC. VNC has been around for at least 15 years, and I first saw it to share RedHat desktops on Windows computers. If you look at JAWS directories

Sounds are often pushed on a separate channel that the host computer would open on the remote machine / machines. It sounds like Apple remote does not allow this, but you could probably compile your own version of the remote software that would allow this, though obviously you would need to

Both JAWS and Macintosh do use the same basic underlying protocol for remote windows. My brain is forgetting the name right now, but it is an open source package, so I would expect that NVDA would use this to. Now the hard part would be routing the voice over to the remote controlling machine,
