Seb, That's excellent news. I had reported running some experiments from the office with ZA+VNC on a Win2K laptop, and having success -- i.e., no performance drag. I had meant to try the Win2K machine from home this weekend, but hadn't gotten around to it. My home machine is running Win98, so I was wondering if it was indeed OS related.
I'll try both the ZA upgrade to 2.6.362 on my Win98 machine, as well as the Win2k machine from home, see how things work, and post once I have results. Thanks for the info!
