Hi!

You may want to give TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com) a try. It's much faster than VNC.

If you are satisfied with console mode, have a look at cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com), which is a unix layer over windows. You can run inetd on the server and rlogin from the client to run sqlplus or net start/stop the instance. Besides that, I just can't imagine what I would do without a shell, grep, awk, etc. ;-)
