Speaking from ignorance...
It seems like remote administration from Windows is a 2 part
solution:
1) Connect to remote network using some VNC that implements PPTP (tool1).
2) Establish remote connection to server desktop (tool2)
Tridiavnc advertises itself like a desktop, but has VNC in the name
so I was hoping it might be an "all in one" tool.
