Yes, I know of a couple, Xmanager 1.3.8 is really good. It runs on windows 
and is basically an X server for windows. I've found that the proformance on 
it is great. Another option is something like VNC (which is free)

linuxconf-web has something about enabling remote administration via http. 
Could look into it if you are keen. also, package webmin has some stuff about 
admin via http, port 10,000

See you guys at the meeting :-)
Cheers
Glen
