    Thanks. The product's only $25 and qualifies certainly as "low cost". I'll
    check it out.

    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!
