How can I launch VNC Host on a remote machine?

[Dub Dublin]

Sort of.  With Tridia's version (I don't think this works with AT&T or others),
pick "Launch VNCViewer in Listen Mode" on machine B.  Then from machine A,
lauch the VNC server.  When you want to "push" A's screen to B, right-click on
the server icon in the systray and select "Add New Client".   Note that B must
already have the viewer running in listen mode for this to work - you should be
able to put it in the startup folder if you want it to work automatically all
the time.

I did this just the other day using W98SE for the srever and W98OSR2 for the
client, so I'd expect it to work in your setup.   If the app can stand it,
cutting the colors down to 256 helps a lot - screen updates in a colorful Excel
spreadsheet were still much too slow in full color mode even with high-speed
connections (cable and DSL) on both ends.  It works better on a LAN, but
applications that update the screen a lot will appear to freeze even in a
switched 100 Mbps environment.  (Just for fun, I tried to VNC Music Match's
full-screen visualization graphics with a clean 100 Mbps pipe.  Don't bother to
try this - it's way beyond what VNC can handle right now.)
