[AccessD] Remote keyboards and monitors

Hello Jim

I have used VNC for a few years now and recently started using Remote
Desktop with WinXP and 2003 Server.  I have to say that I love it, it
is really super.  Beats VNC handsdown.

The only time that I use VNC now is if from some authetentication
problem, I cannot log on with Remote Desktop.

Fortunately, I do not have to connect to Linux so MS does me fine.

If you can get the MS solution working, you may well prefer it.  On a
lan it feels like you are on the PC
