A Server for Bochs/Plex86

[X-Odus]

For those of you who don't know, Bochs and Plex86 are both x86
emulators.  They allow you to run an OS inside a window on whatever
native OS you are running.  I thought of the idea of running 3 or 4
emulators on a fast machine on my network, then running VNC on each of
those emulated OS's.  This would allow me to access which ever OS I
wanted, when I wanted, and It wouldn't bog down my main computer.  After
taking a deeper look at Bochs and Plex86, I noticed that niether one has
decent support for virtualizing network cards, this would make it hard
to run VNC inside the emulated OS.  Instead, I went about it a different
way.

Bochs and Plex86 both have a set of GUI stubs to allow easy porting to
various GUI enviroments.  In my case, the envirment was the RFB
Protocol.  I looked over the source code for the other GUI's and started
what I call Bochs-RFB.  This project is still in very early alpha
stages.  Basic text output is shown, and discolored graphics.  These
will both be worked on.  Keyboard input is working, but mouse is not.

I have a small page up describing Bochs-RFB located at:
http://www.psyon.org/bochs-rfb/index.html

I would appreciate any suggestions or comments about the project.

Thank You
Donald Becker
