Thank you everyone. And I apologize: I should have specified that I was using one of those headless Cobalt Linux appliances and saved the mac/win people some carpal tunnel wear-and-tear. I will work around the vnc specific stuff in Bert's script and see what happens.
By the way, if people want to see the beginnings of what I'm using a Swiki for, go to http://www.madeleinelengle.org/; you can read the materials there or skip ahead and click on "sandbox." You can play around, even though, as I imagine, your a bit older than our 13-year-old top target age. ...Oh, here is another question: you will notice that I had to settle for exposing the alternative port number (8888). I tried my damnedest to configure a reverse proxy in Apache so that it would serve the sandbox, at least, from sandbox.madeleinlengle.org (instead of www.madeleinelengle.org:8888), but something in the dummy-proof configuration of the Cobalt appliance prevents the web service from reloading properly with those changes. Has anyone successfully configured a reverse proxy on one of these Cobalt thingies?
