    How is the setup on a windows box setup? with ssh as the transport?????

    for Either PCAnywhere or VNC [any flavour]
    with ssh as the transport?????

    I assume it needs to be piped through something like cygwin/ssh????

    any pointers appreciated
    for all OSes but windows specificaly
     windows 98/2k/xp/server & linux/unix/mac osx [os9 unlikely]

    Have not found a good recipe so far ;-{

    Thanks
