Yup, if your vncserver is running on :1, for example, you may access the 
viewer via a java-enabled web browser at http://<hostname or ip 
address>:5801. Note, that, in this case, port 5801 must be open on your 
firewall. For testing purposes, you may want to try all this on 
localhost just to see if it works without fussing with the firewalls.
