Hi, Sean. This seems to be a reasonable request that I have seen on the list before. To be honest, I don't know why it hasn't been implemented in Real's product, but it has been available in TightVNC for quite some time (1.2.9 is the stable version, iirc). It's true that the Real product has the 'only prompt if logged on' option, but as you illustrated, that doesn't really give you the same functionality. If anyone from the RealVNC team cares to comment, I'd be interested in your thoughts on this feature. To summarize, the request is to add an option to accept the connection instead of rejecting it after the timeout.
