Is there a Web Remote Desktop Client


In windows XP Pro or server, one can setup a module in IIS so that you can remote desktop to that machine using a web browser. Using this method, you can remote desktop from any machine with a internet connection and ie (it runs as a ActiveX, so you can't use firefox). You won't need to install anything on the machine you are using and it also bypasses most firewall because it uses http.

I was wondering if there is anything similar for Linux. Is there a way I can remote desktop to a Liux box over the web?

most vnc implementations include a java interface on port 590x where x is the display number.b
