VNC between two NT boxes?

With NT (at least 4.0) - all networking can be done via tcp/ip.  Sharing of
disks is not important when it comes to VNC as VNC is just a remote viewing
application (which I might say in the long run really saved my arse today,
and is a slick little program!)  Just make sure your two NT systems are both
set for TCP/IP, with distinct IP addresses.

There is a network a few doors down from my storefront that has 1 NT server
and 3 NT workstations, and I had to get VNC to a software creator who needed
access to the NT server when pcAnywhere wouldn't work.
