Hi Brad, Loosen up mate, I am not making any personal attacks on you.

Who has the comprehension impairment? Maybe you could stop attacking the messenger and instead look at the speed issues of BSS ...

Just make it faster so that it is closer to the speed that VNC runs at. Specifically, he complains that the shared window is unreadable.

Did you lock down terminal? That security offered by BSS is a tad light. Clearly, it's not a focus of VNC with all the holes users > have to open up to engage in interactive screen sharing. Mate the paragraph above is total BS. The only port that has to be opened up is 5900. I normally open it up after allowing the remote client to log into a linux/macosx machine via ssh first. Brad, the other demo I sent, involved tunnelling over ssh. No holes. Period. Keith, you > can open up all the ports on your computer that you want. My users > can't. If they can open up one port they can open up another. With the remote Assitance demo I'll show you they do not even have to open up a port. They win. Good, maybe we all can ... If I was a part of the VNC crowd as you put it, I would not of bothered to review BSS, and I was going to use it, it was just too slow, for me, and I quantified it might be because I have an old mac.
