Mark:
	Heya. Have you given Kaboodle a try? I wrote it for
the "average" Internet user (ie, someone who knows their email
address but not their IP address), and it comes predisposed
to securely tunnel VNC connections across a LAN. It can also
connect LAN's together, of course, but that doesn't seem to
be what you're asking. You can find out more about it here:
"www.Kaboodle.org".

	It's at version 0.99 now; there are some loose ends
I'm wrapping up for 1.0. If it doesn't suit your needs, please
let me know how it sucks so I can fix it. :)

cheers,
Scott
