[PLUG] VNC Demo

[CurtisE]

Nice!  I'm on a Win2K box with IE5 and a fairly speedy cable connection.
The responsiveness/screen updates was quite useable.  It's been a while
since I've used VNC, but a couple of years ago I used VNC heavily in a
Windoze and HP-UX environment.  It was nice to not have to leave the comfort
of my cube and freeze my um, sensitive parts, off in the data center when I
needed console access to a server.  The speed then was fine when on the LAN,
but I recall a 128K ISDN connection being pretty darn painful.  I know they
planned to work on making VNC more bandwidth efficient, but I can't really
make an apples to apples comparison.

Security is obviously an issue given your current configuration, but that
can be fixed easily enough, once your done playing with the demo.  I wonder
how much of a performance hit it will take when you enable encryption.  Of
course one drawback of using VNC instead of SSH & X is that you are limited
to a single concurrent user (I think that's still the case - unverified)
with VNC.  Of course that may not be a requirement in your case.  Of course
with VNC, you don't need to tote a cross platform SSH client and X server
disk around...

All;

Out of a need to access my desktop remotely, I have created a demo VNC
server. If you have a browswer that supports Java, you can find it here:
