if that URL doesn't forward, you can usually go direct (assuming @Home
doesn't break things in a few days during their bankruptcy):

can you establish a dialup TCP/IP connection using NIE (Newton Internet
Enabler) using PPP (or maybe older SLIP)?

of course, to use the viewer in newtVNC (3.3a7), you would need access to a
VNC server. I don't know of any public ones, but if your company has some on
a network available thru dialup, it just might work. (I've tended to test
with Mac and PC on my local home network via ethernet).
