        VNC is what I use for running my Linux servers over the network.
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) it's a bit poky for use over dialup;
but over 10b-T it works pretty well on Linux boxen. (it's also available for
Windows, but doesn't work quite as well. it's more sluggish).
        not quite as fast as LapLink or GoGlobal or Citrix; but neither does
it cost as much. :) (it's free).
