    I wonder if the OpenBSD natd is the same code? I don't have any Open
    BSD machines but it might be interesting to look.

    OK.... well, we have tried same-ports, use_sockets, ..everything we
    can think of and it does not work with VNC....but there's more....

    If we substitute a FreeBSD box with vncserver for the windows box,
    then I actually can see the beginning of a screen forming, about 10
    scan lines. Eventually, the connection times out, but when it does it
    delivers another 10 scan lines of so of screen. That kind of
    behavior would suggest to me that the first bufferof the screen stuff
    is sent out, but no ack comes back and, when the connection finally
    times out, you get another packet bufferas it dumps the connection.

    By the way, SSH runs fine to that inside machine from the 'net.
