Device server software?

I wonder if anyone knows where I could find software to convert a PC into a device server. To be more specific: I want to station an older PC at the scope and then use its interfaces (USB, 1394, COM, LPT) via a network connection from another PC (preferably in a nice warm place in the house...). I would then run image capture and telescope control software on the client (the one in the warm room). I have tried the remote login method in WinXP; it works but it limits the performance to the level of the PC at the scope.

Thanks in advance
