Controlling a second machine on the same desk

I can find plenty of stuff on presenting a remote desktop or
apps on the client machine using ssh, but I'm struggling a
little with this one... (Winter brain lockdown.)

Two machines, almost side by side. One is used for internet
work, and the other is nailed down apart from an ssh
connection to the internet machine. As both are on the same
physical desk, all that is required is that one machine's
keyboard/mouse can control both. (Not simultaniously of
course, but easily switching between machines) The display
would remain on the internet machine, and be controlled by
the other machine's keyboard/mouse remotely.

Can somebody point me at some documentation, or give me a
shove in the right direction on this one?
