Hi Axel manufactures "only" an hardware VNCviewer. This hardware is 100% compliant with VNC specifications and can be connected to any VNC servers (Unix, Linux and Windows). In addition telnet emulations are also available (ANSI, VT, 5250, 3270...)
In comparison with PCs, the benefits of a such dedicated product are the price and the robustness. Vincent ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gabor D.
