Have you tried using NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame?

NT Terminal Server allows virtual NT consoles.  MetaFrame runs on top of
NT Terminal Server and communicates to Citrix's ICAClient.  The
ICAClient allows me to view that virtual console on my linux box through
an x-window or web browser.
