-You may also want to check out [[http://www.realvnc.com/|VNC]], another remote-access system. If you intend to use it across the internet, rather than for local use within Tate Lab, you should read directions for SSH tunnelling, as the non-encrypted version is blocked at our firewall.
-Here are some HOWTOs on doing this:
-  * putty [[http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi|A good ssh tunnel HOWTO]] using putty on windows.
