Look at PCAnywhere from Symantec.  I've not used it personally, but it does
windowing in VGA.  All it does is send the commands over the phoen system,
and makes your local system draw the same boxes that are drawn on the remote
system.  This seems like a good way of doing things.  And it shouldn't be
as bad as trying to send a lot of picture data.
