Brian,
It would be interesting to try if you can connect from inside of the network using the same client. This will eliminate possible vpn problems.

This is the problem I have never heard of.

Also is it possible to use X server to connect to that RH box? U can use free x server of the Internet. Maybe your keymap is misconfigured somehow?

I am new to using VNC and am having a frustrating problem with keystroke
spewage.  While connected to my remote app, I'll type a keystroke and it
will ultimately be echoed to my application multiple times.  My setup is
as follows:

Environment
-----------
Client: VNC4.1.2 on winxp sp2
Network: Internet - VPN client (cisco 4.0.5)
Server: Fedora 3 running vnc server provided with distro
(vnc-server-4.0-8).
Remote app: emacs (emacs-21.3-17).  This is what I always use, but I've
also seen spewage in xterms etc...

I googled for 'keystroke repeated vnc' etc... and various permutations
and combinations of similar english text and did not find anything
useful.

Any history on this or solution would be appreciated.

VNC aside, I've used the same setup to run other apps via vpn and have
not seen this problem.  If keystrokes are sent 1 character at a time
over the network, it almost seems like the vnc client app is resending
the packet for a given keystroke because it perceives the prior packet
(keystroke) to have been dropped ... when in fact they all arrive and
barf all over my screen.  This problem is intermittent, so network
latency could very well be a large contributing factor.

Regards,
Brian Auld
