I found myself needing a SSH/VPN configuration, so I went ahead and set it up using Brad's instruction, some exotic installation from Cygwin (is there supposed to be a unwritten rule stipulating that any *nix implementation must be pain in ass to setup?), and RealVNC. It worked great.

Except for two small things.

1) My windows box has a small monitor
2) I imagine that the internet is straining under the heavy stress of my iMac blotting the 1680x1050 screen per second.

Is there a way to help lighten the load; perhaps by limiting the size of what can be viewed, or something? I suppose I could lower the resolution, but would prefer to pursue other options if possible.

AFAIK, RealVNC doesn't use any encryption. (it won't let me, but that's okay, as I presume SSH does all the work anyway) and I remembered there was an option to allow for faster blotting, but can't find it.
