What are you looking for in Putty in this regard?

I have brainstormed briefly (more of a brainsquall) about adding shadowing
features to AnzioWin. If enabled, it could send whatever it received to
another terminal session somewhere on the network. The Unix/Linux server
would not even be involved. Other options:

1) A screen dump could be sent on command.

2) User could allow keyboard input from the shadowing terminal.

3) User could allow mouse and menu input from the shadowing terminal.

4) Shadowing terminal could capture print jobs.

Arguing against doing all this work, though, is that fact that remote
desktop applications are more all-encompassing, and getting very good. I
use Webex, and it has assisted greatly in customer support recently.

I welcome any thoughts.
