Whoa there Mark

In my opinion Scott's question is perfectly valid on this list. Many
on here will have significant experience with different remote
desktop tools. Since these usually require an ADSL router to be
pin-holed and/or firewall rules set-up, then this list is an ideal
place for such discussion.

Secondly, in what way is it illegal to use VNC to control an WinXP
desktop ? - and who has declared it as such ?
