If you use OS9, you can manage all aspects of dw4 from the coco using
the 'dw' utility that is on the dw flavored nitros9 disks.  For DECB
it's theoretically possible but the software doesn't exist yet.

You can also run the GUI on a different machine than the server, and
that is what i'd recommend for the Pi.  The server will run on any
machine with a JRE and the rxtx libs, more than 30 different systems
last time I checked, however the GUI is a bit more picky, at least as
I package it.  You can run the GUI on any supported platform
(win/lin/osx * 32/64) and connect to the server over IP.
