Sorry, forgot to specify... it's running Digital Unix 4.0b at the moment. I
might move it over to my SGI Indigo2 running IRIX.

An Alphastation running which OS? And VNC doesn't handle
sound, does it? Hmm, maybe it should. And you know about
the built-in VNC web server, right? You don't even need
a client, just a browser.

Emulation ASP not only sounds like fun, but it's probably
a more meaty business model than your average dot-com.
