OKay, Nixgeek, refer to my earlier comment and I admit that I'm not a genius with this stuff like you. You understand what results I'm trying to achieve, so please don't belittle my explainations that could have been written by any simpleton. It's obvious that I am a bit confused, but am aware of the the differences between VNC and emulate, and I thank you for your assistance.
I wasn't trying to belittle you, and I did read and understand the fact that you were new to all of this, hence my long explanation. I had explained in a previous post that this was not possible with VNC, but your response after that seemed to completely ignore what I had said and you kept asking if it was possible to do what you were asking to "control through a window emulating a Windows Server 2003" server....this is why I went into more depth on the difference since it seemed as though you didn't grasp what I was saying. You had even confused
ora with your explanation of what you wanted done, probably due to the misuse of the terms. All I was doing was trying to explain the difference in order to clear up the confusion.
In the end,
ora gave you the same answer that I did which was that you can't do what you're asking using VNC. In theory, what you would have to do is somehow
share the device from the Mac and it would have to be
detectable and
readable by the PC (or vice-versa). As far as I know, this isn't even possible from one Windows PC to
another Windows PC, unless I'm missing some important communications component of this device that will allow it to work this way with two Windows PCs.
To my knowledge, the only way to realistically do this is to have the device connected to the PC
physically and then
remotely control the Windows PC using Chicken of the VNC on the Mac in order to view the outputs and calculations that the PC is performing from the VNC window on the Mac. Yes, you might experience lag from the refresh of the VNC window, but that's dependent on the speed of your network connection.
About the best you can probably due is just output the data to a file and then read out the intervals between the outputted calculations.
One other app that you might want to try is Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for the Mac. It's basically the same Remote Desktop Client that comes with Windows XP, but for the Mac. The refreshes tend to be faster compared to VNC, but you're connecting through a virtual terminal and not the actual desktop that you would see if you were right in front of the computer.

Hope this option is a little better for you.
