You could connect to it through X server, and run x terminals... but is there anything like that for JACK then? Like if I'm on one of the production terminals, can I connect the sound input of that computer to JACK of the renderfarm? Somebody mentioned using JACK over TCP/IP, but that it would cause latency issues... what if its just over a local ethernet, gigabit ethernet? Because it would be a pain in the ass to walk over to the next room to control to unplug and plug in audio inputs, then walk back over to the terminal. This seems possible, but I'm unsure of JACKs TCP/IP abilities. I'll go do some research. - ben
