Sure, although the "without anyone else being able to see what they see" requirement is potentially tricky as you might need to encrypt the VNC connection. Also, VNC does not turn a Windows OS into a multiuser system. The only way to do that is to run Terminal Services (either NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition or Windows 2000 with Terminal Services installed). You can use Citrix ($$$) on top of Terminal Services for web enablement or you can use a web enabling gateway such as Tarantella ($$$) or VNC+rdesktop (more work). -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
