You could use an intermediary Unix box to provide SSH, but there's now
an SSH server for Windows:

Subject: VNC vs PPTP
Our outside network expert thinks that Microsoft's PPTP is
extraordinarily insecure. Yet, he uses VNC extensively to monitor
systems. I found out today that he has installed it on at least one
of our computers.
I tried VNC a couple of years ago and concluded that it did not
seem secure enough to use and so I haven't done anything with it
since then.
I'm not saying that PPTP is safe, but that the vulnerabilities are
fairly limited as far as I can tell and that to me, it certainly appears
safer (and more useful) than VNC.
Does anyone know the relative safety of VNC and PPTP? Or is
there any way to adequately compare them?
