I found a new VNC client for Windows at the GNU Win II site called Tight VNC. The program works a lot faster. I like the speed from the XP Terminal Services but wanted to use something free.

Their criteria are: - Keep their AOL addresses; - Let both of them be online at once; - Have three computers on two floors share the internet connection, files, and the printer My additional criterion is: - Do (some) administrative tasks remotely What I would like to do is very much like what I have at home: a cable modem into a cheap linux computer acting as a router with IPTables, with a WAP providing wireless access to the three other computers, probably all windows running VNC servers. Question for y'all: has anyone used AOL's cable broadband service w/ linux? Any pitfalls I should beware of? Also: my plan is to use the linux box for the local routing both because it's cool and because it will allow for some remote administration. Is that stupid, i.e., should I just buy an out-of-the-box broadband router? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
