[SunHELP] Using a PC keyboard/mouse with Ultra5/10's

I probably should of mentioned I use x2vnc to do this, I have two monitors side by side, moving the mouse to the far edge of the monitor on the machine running x2vnc redirects the keyboard/mouse and pointer to the other monitor on the other machine, unfortunately the x2vnc only works with unix so I can use my Sun keyboard/mouse with my Windows desktop, anyone aware of a Windows port so I can use my Windows keyboard/mouse on my Sun box ? 

Cheers,
Adam

Err, doesn't the VNC server run on Solaris? Just do the reverse of what
you're doing now.

Run and xvncserver on the Solaris box and the VNC client on your Win 2K
machine.

aware of a similar method (non-hardware) but allowing use of a W2k
keyboard/mouse to be shared on a Sun Solaris box, ideally over IP ?
