Do these modules and info on the associated hardware still exist?

Not so much different to VNC. I start up VNC on the netbook to get the 
NAS box to burn a DVD-R (points) over there. ;-)

If it wasn't on an isolated network, I could have jacked in via WiFi 
while I am sitting, currently, in the garden (Mick: by the old bread 
oven in the area where the tent was).


Best wishes,

Rick.
