Should be possible to do TCP/IP over Bluetooth, which would allow stock VNC, right? Long ago when I had a Treo 650 - no WiFi - I had a Bluetooth dongle hooked up to my downstairs PC to give the phone internet access while I was home. I think I even did some VNC at one point, though SSH was more practical with that device.

There was some scripting and configuring of the Bluez stack involved. I'll see if I can dig that stuff up. In the meantime, you might want to look up "Bluetooth DUN".
