I was able to get the VI client to work for the most part except for the
Console (which from what I hear is really VNC and there are other ways to hook
in to it, however it seems pretty fast to just be VNC). The only bad thing
about it is you need admin access on the VI server to disable the SSL mode and
force authentication and communication in over standard HTTP.

This site explains the magic, it took me about 2 hours of tweaking with a
different order for install using a newer Wine but I eventually got a mostly
working VI client.
