VNC on 9.1 crashed routinely. I wouldn't run the server anymore that way and we couldn't afford Timbuktu, so we went without remote admin (though I could still administer mail from home). VNC seems to work a little better on other platforms that we use in the office, in particular Linux, but again, we had alot of trouble with it in Classic. That may have been an irregular happening with Classic, but it did happen, nonetheless. Haven't messed Timbuktu, so couldn't tell you the foggiest there, but I've heard good things...
