 I don't know anything about Carbon Copy, but the obvious answer to me
seems to be:

1.RAM DISK:> newshell aux:

if you want more direct control (via keyboard and mouse) fire up
a copy of Matt's Sernet and run Netkeys 2.0.

  Now if you want to see intuition apps run over a net it's harder.
This falls back on the DIG problem, you would need to redirect all
Text/Writepixel/Draw/Move, etc calls over the net, not so easy.

 Doing a program like this on the PC is easy, especially with an 
MMU. Just trap all writes the video hardware registers and memory and shadow
them to the other machine.

 DNET/Parnet/Sernet and AUX seem to get the job done for me in most
cases.
