You know, I use VNC on my PCs at the house here, and it works flawlessly on them, I tried the MAc version and it was terrible, it froze constantly and would make the system crash, I too would be extremely interested in a way to get it to work!

(All PM 7xxx machines; OS 8.6 and 9.2.2). Also using it to help a friend remotely. VNCserver 3.3.3beta3 seems to work ok on my local machines. But I found the client that comes with it (same version number) to be VERY unstable; crashing repeatedly. I poked around a bit and found an alternate client, VNCThing 2.2. I am still, however, having two problems... Periodically, VNCThing seems to loose the connection to the Macs on our LAN. It just suddenly doesn't refresh the screen window - most often after doing something that changes a large portion of the remote's screen (eg: bringing an app with lots of windows to the foreground). It reconnects just fine, but it's frustrating. The 2nd problem occurs when using VNCThing to talk to a PM 7300 at a friend's house. We're both on Comcast, so our pipe is a mutual 1500 Kbps down and 256 Kbps up; should be fast enough I think. The connection gets lost at about the same rate as when I'm talking to a local machine, but for an added bonus, my friend's Mac freezes! Are there any trix to using VNC? Better versions?
