Joey, Thanks for the offer for the shell account but I will decline. It would be a waste of your time as I am not into J as most of the people on this mailing list. J is something I like to dabble with when I get some spare time here and there.
Alex, Raul, I have used Cygwin in the past to have access to gcc, so I think I will be visiting my local cygwin site in the next few days and start downloading. Thanks to everyone that replied. I believe I have enough information to research and setup a ssh server myself. I just wasn't quite sure how jconsole could act as a server and your replies have guided me in a nice direction.
