If the OS of your testing machine is Windows XP you could use the remote desktop connection (it's a little bit hidden among the "accessories" in the 
start menu, for Windows 2000 is a client available too and an updated
version is available via windows update). That could help your old knees a 
little bit.

As an alternative, you might look at TightVNC. I use it through an SSH
tunnel to work from home occasionally.

Thank you for the tip about TightVNC. I installed it and it works extremely well, and is a significant improvement over what I remember of the original VNC, which I used to use occasionally between Windows 2000 and Linux.
Remote Desktop wouldn't work for me because you can only set up a Windows 2000 machine as a client, and I want to access 2000 from a client XP. 

Thanks again,

Myron
