Yes, the basic AT&T server (all available versions) is extremely buggy. For MacOS "classic" machines, from 7.5.5 to 9.x and 68030 upwards, use ChromiVNC which I wrote to replace the AT&T server. It's available from: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/vnc/ For MacOS X, I've heard that OSX-VNC is a viable solution: http://www.osxvnc.com/ You can also use Xvnc on MacOS X, via the BSD Subsystem. This opens up your possibilities to TridiaVNC and TightVNC, although you will probably have to compile these two from source. I'm not aware of the extent of availability of binary distributions of Xvnc for MacOS X. >Also, is there a VNC server for Mac OS X that also serves up the java >viewer applet? The one available at <http://www.osxvnc.com> doesn't seem >to. Maybe that's because MacOS X includes it's own webserver, so you can put the applet there with a little tweaking. ChromiVNC also includes a basic webserver, which can be made to run on any available port. It doesn't have any dynamic capabilities at present, but you can easily tweak a static HTML page and applet to work well. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ geekcode: GCS$/E dpu(!) s:- a21 C+++ UL++ P L+++ E W+ N- o?
