There are a number of resources out there that talk about using ssh and VNC to provide a secure pipe from one machine to another. If the Windows machine is behind a router/firewall, don't forget to forward the ports you're using from the firewall to the machine. Also open the corresponding ports on any locally run firewall on each machine. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
