Re: LAN console from remote using ACS

[Justin Taylor <jtaylor.0ab@xxxxxxxxx>]

We always kept the console up in the computer room.  To "take over" the
console from my office, or my house, I found I needed to have the same
version of ACS on both PCs and the same display size (24x80 vs 27x132).
Note my problem was a number of years ago.
