Bit of feedback on one small issue of this discussion - I agree strongly with James on this point, that it is far better to assume low bandwidth at the beginning and then only change if this is not the case.
Using a modem (or other slow connection) connection for VNC (as I have done only on a few occasions) can be pretty painful already, please don't make it any harder ;) As always thanks for the hard work that's going into this. 'Bonne annee' and all that from France.

I think full color is=20 a >better=20 default than low color. As I've said previously, it's clearly not. It results in a = significantly longer startup time for users with slow connections (56K modem, for example), while providing no real benefit to users of fast networks, who = can either let AutoSelect choose Full Colour for them or set it explicitly themselves. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
