- Look at PCAnywhere from Symantec. I've not used it personally, but it does
- windowing in VGA. All it does is send the commands over the phoen system,
- and makes your local system draw the same boxes that are drawn on the remote
- system. This seems like a good way of doing things. And it shouldn't be
- as bad as trying to send a lot of picture data.
