Default Re: DMX control from a PDA or smart phone

To the best of my knowledge, the pocket DMX console? Here or have you considered something like a USB-DMX dongle and a Smartphone/iPhone/NetBook, and using VNC. I think I had better explain what VNC is, it basically allows you to "remotely controll" a computer on the same network (with special software, some free) and you see the same as they see, you see the screen, and can control it.
Hope this helped.

Derek,

I think your friend is using VNC as the last couple of guys have suggested. You can run VNC over a VPN connection in case things were too simple

It's like Windows remote desktop, but not locking out the local computer when the remote is in use (normally).
