Controlling a PC from a PDA, using Bluetooth

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I'd like to be able to control my PC remotely (well, from across the
house!) using Bluetooth; to be bale to start and stop applications, and
so on.

What do I need? A version of VNC?

But no, it doesn't tell me how to use Bluetooth to do what I want to do,
(my desktop has Win2K).

Which flavor of VNC are you using? I also have an HP 2215 and would love to
do this.
TIA
