Even without ssh you can use natd port forwarding - just put

redirect_port   tcp     p3:5900-5902 5900-5902

In your natd.conf file, where p3 is my internal machine behind the network.
All traffic that comes in on the ports 5900-5902 (VNC typical ports) will be
forwarded to my p3 workstation.

I have used both Carbon Copy and PCAnywhere, but they do not compare well to
VNC. With VNC I can have any client talk to any server - ideal for mixed
environments.

yeah - throw them my way please (hwc@ficsgrp.com). We use pca here (on
other machines) and I'm sure the hack will be useful someday.
