Sort of a dual reply - to the original question asker and to the author of
the above quote : NetMeeting has a "Remote Desktop Sharing" capability, as
well as the ability to share individual application windows. The
performance is slow (slower than VNC) and it REALLY doesn't like 8bit -
lots of palette confusion. The "share one application window" thing sounds
good until you realize that if any other window gets in front of part of
the shared window, there is no way to retrieve the data in the overlapped
zone, and NetMeeting will simply draw a hatch pattern there. Since you
don't control the other window, you can't move it to get rid of the hatch.
On the whole, I would go with VNC. If you already have NetMeeting running
for videoconferencing and don't want to install any other services,
NetMeeting will also provide the occasional remote control service. I have
used it to debug machines remotely, when necessary. On the whole, I've
been much happier with VNC, though.
