This pitfall really doesn't bother me. Once I get it 100% up and running (it is minus VNC working without a monitor attached), then I am going to burn the drive to CD... should things go horribly wrong, I can just restore from CD. >A small keyboard and a mouse take up little room, and you can leave the >monitor turned off until you need it. A: I physically don't have the space for a monitor. I could probably squeeze a keyboard and I have a few of those trackpad things so I can definitly fit a mouse if needed but... B: I don't have a monitor, keyboard, mouse to spare, I would have to buy more if I was going to stick ones on an otherwise headless box (if I am going to spend the money on that, I might as well get a $60 Linksys router and do the same job with less noise). >Suggestion: Put "Alertia" on the 7100; it can take care of at least one of >the reasons VNC won't operate: open dialog boxes waiting for you to click >"OK". I was thinking of putting KIU (Keep It Up?) on the machine and OkeyDokey to help make sure things stay running and dialog boxes get ok'd. >BTW, I use ChromiVNC with VNCThing for a client. I have fewer problems than >with the AT&T versions. That seems to be the opinion... I think maybe this weekend when I pull the 7100 out to put a loop plug on it, I will try out Chromi on it and see how things go (right now it is all tucked away under a book case running happily, I just don't have remote admin of it) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
