your PPC has a terminal service you can access the computer with, bit
like desktop sharring in XP

Another (IMO better) Terminal Server/client is Real VNC. Free client for
both desktop and PPC.

The problem with VNC is that it's not firewall friendly. Try GoToMyPC (our
review http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2849) or logmein.com.
Both with Pocket PC versions available, the second one free with some
restrictions.

These traverse a firewall by using port 80 to connect to a server, instead
of connecting directly to the host computer.

You need to open/forward TCP Port 5900 for VNC...

http://www.realvnc.com/faq.html#firewall

....and TCP Port 3389 for Terminal Services...or run both through a VPN tunnel...

Yep... Bu some organisations will not allow 5900, and some clients will not
have a VPN for this. Talk about telco paranoia

You can easily change the listening port the VNC server uses if you want...Just a FYI... With that
said, since the VNC data stream is *NOT* natively encrypted, its really not a good idea to use it
over the public internet without running it through a VPN tunnel...
