VNC required network connectivity between the client and server
(obviously) and you could use any device capable of routing.  So, that
would be yes.

You might find that the network+vnc latency is killing you though.
Alternatives is looking at application data perhaps async such as log
files, emails etc.  If your NT app doesn't have log files, write a
macro that opens the "status screen" dump that to a file and emails it
to you.
