The latest (internal) version of ChromiVNC can "survive" a PowerBook sleep, and should also handle a desktop machine sleeping as well. I don't recall whether the published version also has this feature, from your description it sounds like it doesn't. I've found a little time to work on ChromiVNC recently, so I might be able to make a new release shortly. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/vnc/ geekcode: GCS$/E dpu(!) s:- a20 C+++ UL++ P L+++ E W+ N- o?
