I've been using Phone Link to talk to a remote iPhone by typing in the Phone Link screen on my PC and following what the remote sees on my own iPhone. I'm getting the impression that Apple's "Walled Garden" won't let the remote user's replies appear in my Phone Link window.
Is there a way to see both sides of a PC to iPhone conversation within the Phone Link screen? The remote iPhone sees both sides of the conversation, but my Phone Link window is one-way.

I found Intel Unison better with my iPhone than MS phonelink.
