Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Bill.

(I actually tried RealVNC some time ago, but at that time it was buggy
and slow. No problems now with VNC Server Free 4.1.3 under XP and
Firefox under Linux).

Glad to recommend a viable solution. It's a rare thing sometimes.

Most of the VNC offerings have something wrong with them. Either on the
server or the client side. So don't think using the paired set is
necessary. Try one and move on to another if you run into troubles.
