This works for a system that is in the lab, but if the system is out
in the field then it would not work. I would want to bring a host
system with PB on it and connect to the target system that is running
Window CE.

The scanario I have in mind is that the image would boot completely to
Windows CE. At some later stage I may want to connect to the system
and use remote tools - but not necessarily.

Regards,
J
