Brad,

May I suggest you get VNC (which comes on RH - KDE environment).  Not
certain about the 
RH 9 but I think it's VNC.  If not you can easily get VNC for Linux.

You can find both the Linux and Windows Downloads at:

http://www.realvnc.com/download.html

It works great and is free.  I use it at home from the office using the
FreeSwan VPN as well
as our company using it.  I'm not sure what TCP/IP ports it uses.  You can
use a browser
to access the PC running the VNC server using port 5800 by default.  I
believe you can change
the port and probably use the one that PCAnywhere uses if needed.

Terminal Services are ok but this is purely IP and free and works great.

Hope this helps,
Dan
