Sounds very interesting and certainly very useful.  I've downloaded the client and had a look at the readme file, but to be honest I'm not completely clear on how to set everything up with it.

If anyone else downloads this client and manages to set it up properly I'd appreciate it if we could have a chat about it so I can set mine up as well and give it a try.

@logicalheart:

I've already tried that but unfortunately I just get an error: Connection Refused.

What information do you normally put in for "username"? I wondered if the username was supposed to be the Windows Network ID, but I really don't know.  And do you need to specify a password? I wouldn't have thought Windows would just let you in as easily as that?

Ah - I can see that there's some information on the website.  I'll follow that and give it a try.

After visiting the website I managed to get mine up and running fine as well.  It's actually faster than I thought it would be - I've got mine running in full depth full screen mode on a window on my Amiga desktop and it's very useable. That's on a classic setup with BPPC/060.

This is extremely useful for me.  Previously I always used my Amiga as my main machine and then swapped over to the PC for certain tasks that required software which wasn't available on my Amiga.  Now I'll rarely need to leave the Amiga at all, which is excellent!
