Chris,
No i haven´t tried TightVNC... I'll go and check it out ... Also I forgot to mention that there is an excellent client SW that permits a Linux/unix box to connect to a Windows 2000 Terminal Server. If anyone is interested, go to http://www.rdesktop.org/.. Pretty impressed with it ... :)

Nelson, have you tried the free TightVNC from http://www.tightvnc.com ? It has a few performance features that seem to work slightly better than the standard VNC, especially over "slower" links like VPN over a 768Kb DSL. I've been about as happy as I can be with TightVNC for my setup.

Chris,
VNC and OpenSSH are slow and VNC is still a little unstable (IMHO), I personally manage my windows 2000 Oracle DB with a VPN and then a Terminal server window direct to my desktop - from there I have all the tools that I usually have - notepad, mspaint, dir :). I hate to have to plug windows products, but if it were linux or unix, then it would be a different story, seeing as though it matters little where you are physically on a Linux/Unix box (SSH Telnet, or an XWindow Session with the display set to your own IP)...

Anyone knows what Big Larry uses to connect to his Database? :)

I do both platforms, my recommendation is OpenSSH + VNC, they work great, they're free, and they're available for both platforms.
