197899 2003-12-06 09:52:00 Hi there all
A couple of things I have come across.
RealVNC (http://www.realvnc.com/) for running remote desktops.
And a good read (www.hevanet.com) about MS and Windows.

197900 2003-12-06 10:32:00 Ive been a fan of RealVNC for a while, ever since I couldnt get Remote Administrator (radmin.com) to work under Linux.

Have also used TightVNC and TridiaVNC... As well as KDE's krfb as a client.

That article was a VERY interesting read (Only just starting, but so far....)

:-)

I agree, we have been using RealVNC for about 6 months & it has been very useful indeed!

197902 2003-12-06 10:55:00 Radmin has some cool features that I reall wish I could have with VNC, Such as the client choosing what type of connection he has (View only, or Control), and has to have the authentication.. higher authentication means a diff password.

And its not open-sourced and also costs :-(

197903 2003-12-06 11:12:00 Have tried PCAnywhere, Reachout ( no longer going ) and NetOp (http://www.netop.com) by Danware, I liked Reachout until it finished. Netop was very similar but only was a trial. It's going to be interesting to see what RealVNC is like considering how small it is.
The net tonight has been dog slow for me (with Quicksilver). Using StarDownloader it has been timeouting all the time. Taking five minutes to download a 500kb file.

197904 2003-12-06 11:32:00 I have used realvnc and tightvnc up until last week when I happened upon ultravnc, which I've found to be far superior - more configurable and more responsive, with a better ui

"High Speed. A cutting-edge Video Hook Driver (kernel mode) for Win2000 and XP dramatically improves performances and reduces CPU activity over LAN connections. This lets you work on a remote computer with an incredible 'real-time' feeling (hundreds of screen updates per second). "

http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

be wary when using vnc though - it's not a secure protocol, if you want to use it securely you should tunnel it within some SSH loving

SSH is very cool though :D
