I've read that. ( great series, btw, it's the reason I'm 
trying to set it up. FWIW, I also liked the cups pieces you 
did!)

That says I need nxviewer to connect to the vnc server. Is 
this the nxviewer on gateway? or home? Do I connect with 
nxclient from home to gateway, and then start nxviewer from 
there?

Do I install nxclient on gateway? And start nxclient on 
gateway ( having reached gateway by nxclient on home)?

AFAICS, this describes using to
Windows client to connect to a freenx server.

Same, the windows client connecting to a Windows terminal 
Server.

No. this is just standard vanilla w2k - my office machine.

Badly put. I  want to be at home ( windows or linux ) 
connect to gateway (linux) and on to office (windows).
