I don't know how good it is, but MaK is selling a toolkit just for
this, VR-Link(tm): (I am not connected in any way to Mak)

MaK Technologies Inc.

Cambridge, MA 02139

Tel: (617) 876-8085

There's also another product which connects machines over the standard
phone lines to run distributed real time simulations, and it is called
The Parallel Universe(tm) - again I didn't try it, nor I am connected
with the society which sells it:
