As I under stand this it is simliar to pcanywhere, but goes through
the printer port right?

Linux-Linux is easy, I've got several machines and only one
monitor/keyboard and it is so seamless I keep forgetting which machine I'm
on.
As far as Linux-Windoze I would consider the following:
1. ppp through a null modem cable.
2. network cards in both machines.
Basically you goal is to provide a way of networking the two machines
together.
Once the network is up Windows->Linux is easy, both telnet and 'X'
solutions should give you good conectivity to the Linux machine from
Windoes.
Unfortunately Mickeysoft has little to no connectivity built-in, any
Linux->Windows connectivity will be limited to resource sharing, without
spending money on clients and servers for the Windows machine.
