Hello,

it would probably much easier to install VNC (or one of the clones, I 
prefer tightVNC) on the PC which is directly connected to the receiver and 
then access it via the internet. VNC gives you the possibility to view the 
desktop of a remote PC and (with the right password) also to move the 
mouse/use the remote keyboard, so you could easily use all functions of 
ARGO (without any loss of quality) from every computer with an internet 
connection.. to avoid the trouble with changing IP-adresses, dyndns.org or 
a similar service could be used.

I have tested it here and with my internet connection speed (128 KBs 
upstream), it can be used comfortably when using a 640*480 screen 
resolution (Thats about the size of the ARGO-window).

73, Fabian dj1yfk
