I'm currently using TightVNC with a friend over a @home connection (we both
have it).. Because @home marketing their service more toward the AOL rather
than the power user, and the 'no servers' clause.. they have 128k uplink
limits. (I can prolly assume that everyone here knows that already though..)
TightVNC works especially well over this connection.
He's a rather newbie computer user.. slowly teaching himself, but he still
needs me to show him a few things now and then. This is quicker than driving
over there! :P
The only complaint I can post is that I could only find TightVNC on a
russian site.. roughly 400k took me well over an hour (more like an hour and
a half) to download over that connection.
I also have a question about vnc's protocol tho.. when it handles text..
does it just send it like anything else... or is there some kind of OCR
ability there? And if it isn't OCR... Why not? Fonts on a computer should be
able to easily be ocr'd.. or maybe there's a hack that will let windows (or
linux?) vnc servers link directly into the text and send it over in ASCII,
instead of an image.
Is there a technical reason why this wouldn't work?
