Hi All,

Here I am replying to my own post... :-) I think NewtVNC will do what
I need without using the Mac at my end, which is actually better for

Wacom Graphire, and maybe I'll have to purchase one someday... but
NewtVNC seems to do what I really need right now.

Now if I could just get Escale to work!
