How would you do that Heath?, The only vnc connection perhaps possible 
is a vnc server on the gateway machine itself.
There is no path to anything off the gateway box. The only other thing 
(not d-star repeater involved)would have been a peer-peer connection to 
a ID-1 base computer connected with a shared internet connection. Linux 
does a far better(& easier) job interconnecting
different network interfaces than windows in my experience, especially 
networkmanager on the latest linux versions.

I doubt if you will get enough bandwidth to support it, even with just 
with one rps user.

In any case I personally took the matter up with the ACMA some months 
ago and any form of amateur radio connection forming an internet service 
is prohibited presently. The onus is on the D-Star AD module owner to 
prevent the connection.
If you did connect to the internet , when you connect to the AD module, 
then the router port forwarding was/is misconfigured on the gateway.

The bandwidth with a good connection S7 and better will support about 20 
to 35kb/s down 10kb/s up, not 128kb/s as specified in a perfect world 
scenario.

Power level obtained by directional antenna´s and/or transceiver power 
setting, is also very critical for good performance.
