Lol.  Following your logic we would have NO words because someone had to
make up a word to fit a noun / verb.  There is nothing wrong with using
"Remote in" to replace a paragraph describing the process in excruciating
detail so that the person understands that you remoted in.  ;-)

I remoted in

Or

I used remote desktop to connect to my client's computer...

I think I will remote in thanks!

Jeez what's this new verb "to remote in"? How does that decline? I remote
in, he remoted in, he/she/it will have been remoted in.... What's wromg with
using real words? ....grumble, grumble, grumble. Right, I'm going to
keyboard out of this email.
