Accessing the system via web browser is the easiest method. The following link will boot a virtual machine at the datacenter and open a vnc terminal.

CLICK HERE to start a new session.

Important Notes

  • If you are not focused on the terminal area of the screen, your key presses will not register. You should be autofocused on load, if not simply click in terminal window to focus.
  • If you would like to use your mouse you must click the "Capture Mouse" button at the top right. Pressing escape will release the mouse therefore in those mode the escape key is remapped to the ` key.

Advantages

  • Works with just about any desktop browser. Although it will load on a mobile browser i.e. iPhone Safari, the input controls are not mobile friendly at this time.
  • As you are only viewing the screen remotely, all the IPX network traffic is local to the client/server, so your network latency to the environment is not critical, the higher the latency the greater the delay between your inputs registering on the screen, but it will be usable even into the hundreds of ms.

Disadvanages

  • No Sound
  • Emulation is not compatible with some games as it runs too fast.
  • Mouse capture works not is not the nicest expierence.
