I had posted some earlier comments on this and never saw the post so perhaps it got lost.
Anyhow, some time back I tested several of the remote control programs, needing something fairly high speed on my 100 mbps LAN. VNC, PCAnywhere, Remote Administrator (by Famatech), and a couple of freebies I can't recall. Granted this was on a MS network so I can't speak for Linux results, but of all of them, VNC was practically unusable. Between RA and PCA, the speed differences were slight (a slight edge going to RA) but VNC wasn't even in the ball park. This is with everything at 100, CAT5 compliant, and using a switch rather than a hub. I would not call PCA and comparable products dogs. I WOULD call VNC a dog. That may not translate to the Linux world, but it does say that presuming the network is functioning normal for other networking operations, the remote control software itself needs a second look. Hopefully there are choices out there. Dan W.
