There's a plug in for WinAMP which provides a telnet shell to play MP3s. There
is an Amiga GUI client on Aminet. With this method, you don't need to have a
graphics card on the PC, except for when you need to reinstall windows.

I used to get dismal VNC performance between Amigas and Win98 PCs, but good
between Amiga-Amiga or PC-PC. The problem turned out to be Win98. After
upgrading to Win2000, even the display speed on my AGA A1200 from the Win2k
box is acceptable.
