Personally, I think Ultr@VNC is not just "another vnc clone", as it adds significant speed to the Real/AT&T/Tight WinVNC server, and some decent (and well overdue) features like intregrated file transfer. If anything the comment about "another vnc clone" is misleading, as it is in fact the merging of 2 existing VNC projects into 1 common project, so there are now LESS VNC flavours (flavours is a better work, as a clone means an exaxt copy, which Ultr@VNC is not). I might quickly add that, the filetranfer component in particular is very welcome, as most windows platforms (unlike *nix) do not have a ftp server installed by default, and adding one, although possible, is another added pain, especially if you want to send a 5k configuration script or something... And using VNC's existing data connection, means less hassles with firewalls etc... If VNC works, so will VNC with file transfer!!! I hope a *nixVNC server implements this, so the *nix vnc users see what they are missing!! :-) I think Sam and Rudi have done an excellent job, and certainly should not be flamed.. Just my 2 Euros worth.. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
