The OLD servers from ORL/AT&T were pure extension + control panel configurations. However, they were hideously unstable. In fact, they consisted of "vncPatches" and a faceless application, like many "extensions". The NEW server from myself (ChromiVNC) is much more stable, uses a modified version of the same vncPatches, and uses a full application, not a faceless one. >Is there a way that I don't have to have the VNC server running, where the >extension alone is enough for everything to work properly?
