I would be very suprised if Konqueror runs ActiveX plugin. ActiveX is not code neutral ie it doesnt uses bytecode so it should not be able to say take ActiveX from Win32 platform and run unmodified in linux platform. just my 2p -shashi

They developed Java and an ActiveX clients in 1997 which were put onto their CDs - and they have since done zero development. AFAIK, they still distribute the ActiveX/Java clients on every CD. Timbuktu, in contrast, requires a client - a "light" one, but a preinstalled client nonetheless. This makes them relatively unusual in the field since Citrix, Windows Terminal Services, and PCI NetSupport as a comparison all offer ActiveX client controls which can be downloaded R/T from the server into IE an even I believe Konqueror on Linux. (Could someone set me straight on the last? I understand Konqueror has ActiveX support implemented, but I'm not sure how far it goes). <plug id=Tier6 type=shameless> FYI, anyone who has to connect to a variety of systems remotely may be interested in taking a look at the Tier6 package I put together. It only works on platforms with Internet Explorer 5+ supporting ActiveX :( at present. It allows rapid integrated connections via IP to VNC, Citrix, pcAnywhere, Windows Terminal Services, and PCI NetSupport hosts.

However the article misses the #1 pro for vnc in : my mind, that it is asymmetrical. The remote machine doesn't need any : particular software, just a web browser. Only the controlled machine needs : to run vnc. Can any of the commercial packages do that?
