I have a hunch that rdesktop, cygwin, remote desktop and ssh are the pieces of the puzzle you are trying to solve. I run FC4 on my laptop and have a work system running Windows/XP. I use rdesktop on the FC4 system to access my work system remotely with Windows Remote Desktop over ssh which gives a very responsive and secure connection. cygwin provides a very respectable Open SSH platform. The only "gotcha" I've encountered so far is that cygwin sshd (as a service) requires C:/cygwin/bin to be on the XP search path which causes a DLL hell issue with Windows gaim (1.5.0). I got around that by running Linux gaim. A potential issue with my solution that might not make it work in general is that I use ssh remote forwarding which requires the remote system (my FC4 Laptop) to be accessible via a static IP connection. Using a proxy is probably workable but I have not done that. -pmr
