WinVNC does a good job of that - provided you are not using the parallel
port ;)
I can see I am going to have major problems installing Mach3 on any of
my normal machines. The 'rule' seems to be that the test program 'fails'
if there are ANY embedded functions on the motherboard :(
Since I'm using embedded graphics in every slave machine and nowadays
finding a low profile PCI graphics card is dam near impossible it looks
like I am stuck with supplying large footprint computers rather than the
stock ITX boxes. The idea was good, network cable back to the desk,
monitor progress via WinVNC and setup the next job direct from the CAD
system. Still big box machines are not expensive just a pain to have to
mount up.
As soon as I find *ONE* machine here that will run the test program I
may be able to start finding a source of motherboards I can use :)

Hi
This may not help since I'm in Canada but I found a very low end (price
wise) PCI video card so there are some around. I'll include the link and
maybe you can source it there., unless it's some kind of house brand.
