VNC probably isn't what you want to run. VNC is very useful and
interesting; but unlike Windoze, you don't need to take over the console
of your machines at work in order to use the FreeBSD machines. I run an
X Server on my Win2k machine and tunnel X back from the remote machines.
The ssh tunnels will daisy chain nicely from work1 to work2.
The X Server we use is decent (copy/paste can be a pain). It cost us
$45/copy from labtam-finland.
I use VNC when I want to run a Windoze machine inside the firewall. I
run the VNC server on the Windoze machine I need to control from home.
The firewall is configured to block VNC. I ssh from home into a unix box
at work, and run the VNC client app on the unix box and connect to the
Windoze box. The VNC client is an X client; so it's window is tunneled
back thru the ssh to my display at home. It can be a bit sluggish; but
it works...
