I just had a crazy idea! Try an TCP/IP KVM!

I have been really enjoying trying to get various things working on my FreeDOS system, including networking and various utilities. One thing I have really wanted to do is get remote control and viewing of the DOS system working. I have tried RMENU (Successfully!) and other things, with varying levels of success. However, I really think I just want to run this system headless without too much additional overhead of running something on the DOS system itself. What could I do? Then I remembered, I have an ADDERLink® ipeps mini KVM device over there on the shelf! It's an entirely hardware solution to give a secure remote view and control of any computer, and OS as far as I can tell. Why not DOS??? Should work. I am going to give it a try!
