A quick look at the docs points out a number of problems: - No HTTP miniserver - No Viewer for non-Windows systems - Standard VNC viewer will not work - You have to be logged in to NT as the same user on both machines (A pain in my case because I have different accounts for my personal machine and most machines I would want to make changes remotely to) There also seems to be a bit of FUD about VNC being insecure because it keeps a "password file". Nope, on Windows platforms it is in the registry, and on NT based systems you can restrict it. Sound interesting in theory, but isn't as flexible as RealVNC. If you can live with the constraints it might be useful. Anyone know what happened to the "PC-SOE" group that produced this? -- William _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
