add the lines

enable_vncvideo: yes
vnc_port: 5900

to your molrc file

set the other video options (i.e. enable_xvideo and
enable_console_video) to no

run a viewer and connect to yourmachine:0

The zero means VNC display number 0, which translates as TCP/IP port
number 5900.

Things to be aware of:

There's no password, so your machine is totally open to anyone who knows
you are running mol.

It doesn't do compression, so over a limited wire it will be *very* slow

It doesn't do clipboard operation, so no cutting and pasting through the
viewer.

It can only cope with one user connected at a time.
