Hi all,
New to VNC software. I have made it work between two Win2K machines.
Ultimately I need MAC OS9.x and OSX clients to see a Win2K server. In
researching the MAC client software available,  I found:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/cgi-bin/vncform
But, terms such as Beta, Old and Very Old describing the versions did not
instill the same confidence I had with your site for the WIN, LINUX, and
SOLARIS  OSs. Can you confirm that these (3.3.3beta2(old)  3.3.2beta2(very
old)  are the latest for MAC OS 9.x or is there a better site with more
recent versions?

I also found:

"If you are using Classic Mac OS then the best server is ChromiVNC:
http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/vnc/

It does suffer a couple of known problems (such as dragging a Finder icon,
or some other draggable item, can cause a lock-up which has to be freed at
the Mac end by jogging the physical mouse - my own vncPatches68k gets around
that though -but I 'lost' my website, so I need to get that sorted out
before it's available again), and it has the occasional incompatibility with
certain software (I found working remotely in Think Pascal would eventually
crash it, and using Eudora remotely for a period of time, half an hour, say,
also occasionally causes a freeze).

That is not good news... Anythign is better than nothing, but freezing the
mac is not a good thing. Is this still developed by someone or is this going
to stay as it is now, for the bugs etc?

The old 'official' AT&T VNC server for Mac (Classic) is very buggy, often
causing complete system-freeze/crash -it does some rather 'naughty' things
at interrupt time, so it's not very surprising... 
However, some have found it just about works, as long as they don't do too
much serious work remotely through to the Mac."

Anyone have better sources for the MAC? Can anyone confirm that these will
work?

Thanks,
Tom Edwards
