[ale] Remote access

[Jonathan Meek]

Chuck,

You might want to look into synergy (http://synergy-foss.org/) because if I
understand what you were looking for correctly then this fits the bill. I
remember reading an article on it on Lifehacker but never tried it. The
good news is that it is open-source and free.

Regards,

Jonathan
