John,
I'm not trying to pry or sound like I doubt your explanation -- I'm genuinely interested remote access. I have a couple of single-purpose, non-critical computers in a machine room (rec studio) that don't need reg. access, but I would like to be able to cycle power or have them push out results of a process. Your post got me planning how to do thatusing QM.
That finite/specific stuff is relatively simple to do via task-specific macs and triggers and return values, so there's no need to drop the big bucks on Avocent network and/or wireless KVMs (as I had to do for access to a critical remote file server, the wireless one for pure laziness).
Q. What kind of things are you doing/hope to do on a remote computer using your network mouse or proposed keyboard without actually seeing what you are doing or pointing at on screen? Doing anything interesting to overcome this?
Thanks,
Steve
