James, You are correct that krdc stands for KDE Remote Desktop Client, but I understand that it can use both protocols depending on what the server requires. I have used it successfully with both rdp & rfb. There's also the Linux rdesktop application which I haven't managed to make it work yet (through an ssh tunnel).
The RealVNC version I am using on the server is: vnc-4_1_2-x86_win32.exe TIA, On Thursday 02 November 2006 15:40, James Weatherall wrote: > Hi Michael, > > Oh!
