Another, lesser-known one that works extremely well for us is Proxy from
Funk Software. But this is academic if there is no Linux client. Hmmm,
there is a Proxy Master (client) for Win3.1, wonder if you could run it

I believe VNC is really supposed to be the answer, though. I haven't
tried it (yet).
