I decided to run with a Linksys Wireless N router (ie no cables) and my home net access is via Telstra cable. Resolving a dynamic IP adress was the only stumbling block (static IP's are not available with Telstra Cable).
However ASDL users can get static IP's, and this makes it *al lot* easier.
The system is set up to dump data a shared local 1Tb USB2.0 hard drive, which I access via my (gigabit) LAN when I get home.
VNC is certainly a solution, but any software that allows WAN remote screen access will do. Sure, screen updates get a little slow if accessed from the USA, but, it works!
