A networked virtual keyboard & mouse system.

I usually have my Amiga and PC switched on, both networked, both connected to two monitors.

To avoid having to use two keyboards and two mice I was using a VNC server on the Amiga (with video disabled) and Win2VNC or X2VNC on my PC. But the Amiga server is quite old and clunkey, uses lots of RAM and can crash. Plus cut-n-paste doesn't always work between the two systems.

A port of Synergy or an equivalent to AmigaOS 3.xwould be good.

There is a port to AmigaOS 4

While googling today I discovered a custom app today I never tried. Anyone use this?
