I have to agree with the last request - I use a lot of mappings to different machines via a firewall and so defaulting to :0 is rarely what I want.
I also like the idea of getting a machine to lock when closing a connection - saves having to rely on the screensaver. I haven't had a chance to test the dial-up performance, but I'm looking forward to trying. I notice that processor speed has a lot more of an effect on VNC performance than I would expect: a machine I normally connect to upgraded from a PIII 700 to a P4 at nearer 2 gig and VNC now works significantly quicker, even though everything else is the same (using ISDN). Congrats to the team, looking forward to further developments.
