That's an X server. The "service" is the display, which is a bit confusing
until you get used to it, but does have a certain logic to it. Trinary, I
think. ;-)

MI/X at http://www.microimages.com/mix/ - I played with an earlier version
of this and... oh, this was the one that was stone useless without
athree-button mouse, wasn't it? I didn't have one of those to put on the
project machine. And I see it's no longer even beer free any more.
There's a free product whose name I am, alas, unable to recall just now,
that addresses this a little differently. It puts the entire root
window/desktop onto a remote display. For what I wanted to do at the time,
it worked very nicely, but then the need went away. Drat! I know I'll be
slapping my forehead as soon as someone mentions its name!
