I confirm that; especially about mouse moves. But the bandwith taken by freenx can be VERY large (huu, yeah well, I work under 1600*1200 everywhere, so... Working with a "56kbps" bandwidth isn't far from truth (and CAN really fit into it), but this time graphics need a cleanup (no background, reducing number of byte of display,...) The only thing that doesn't work (with women ONLY) is "telepathy" mode: it tests for the presence of at least 2 working neurones. -- Debian Hint #28: Regularly verify your backups.
