So, in short:
I can make the connection.
It seems whether she uses 256 colors or thousands of colors on her display, our connection remains equally slow (remember: she has a cable modem and I have DSL), so I'm sticking with thousands so I can read her screen.
VNCThing seems to be the best client so far.
Any additional ideas on anything else to try in order to speed up this
connection? I am still puzzled as to why the connection ran so much faster
when I was using a B&W G3 with a G4 upgrade processor that ran at just under
500 Mhz.
The Dual-USB iBook I am now using has a G3 processor running at 500 Mhz. Would that alone account for the difference???
Many thanks, as always...
Try having your Mom set the display resolution to 640x480 or whatever is the minimum.
FYI, I've used Timbuktu over dialup and had faster responsiveness than this. And this was between machines with 604 processors. I only state this to show that it can be done and realize you probably aren't interested in TB2 due to cost.
