I was playing around with remote connections and came across FreeNX. If you want 
to give it a try, download the client from: http://www.nomachine.com/download.php

I have set up our banger box to accept connections on a secure Internet 
connection. Point the NX client to: 70.66.130.12 port 22. Yup  that's the SSH 
port, so you should be able to SSH into the box as well.

That is a regular desktop user, so it should be pretty safe, but don't worry 
about breaking anything. And I think it allows multiple connections so it should 
work even if someone else is logged in - Not sure about that though. BUT, the 
box is sitting on my work bench so if I need the room it may get shut down. Try 
again later.

Let me know how it goes. I've only been playing with it for 20 minutes, so there 
may be other configuration I need to do.
