Author remote debugging

I'm trying to setup to do remote debugging in Visual Studio 6.0. How do I
get the input/output for the program to be on the host system instead of the
remote one? I want to have the program running on the headless target but
control the debugging and console I/O on the host. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Console i/o happens on the machine that is running the program that does the
console i/o.

The host machine runs the debugger, which communicates with a little program
MSVCMON.EXE on the remote machine. The MSVCMON.EXE program launches the
program you are debugging on the remote machine, which is where console i/o
occurs: on the remote machine.

With other debuggers I've used, all the I/O is redirected back to the host
machine so you don't have to jump back and forth to operate them both and so
that the remote system doesn't need to have a display or keyboard. Guess I
was hoping for that here as well.
