client: vncviewer -listen
server: Xvnc :1
(or vncserver :1)
server: vncconnect -display :1 client
If the server is behind a firewall but the client is not, then this

If you decide to work on it, let me know. I haven't had enough time to
actually start the project, but I may be able to help some. There are a
lot of other people who would also be happy to know that a project has
begun and may want to help out.
