Is this for real!? Has anyone tried it? Sounds too good to be true! I've
seen a remote desktop facility for NT before and it had a bad habit of
crashing the NT machine on which the server was running. This software
sounds awesome though, if it works...
Well, I thought, it's Friday afternoon and I've had a productive
week. So I loaded the VNC server on Win 95 and loaded the VNC viewer
on a Mac and that is what I am using now to send this message.
This actually looks like a possible way to get a monitor off my desk
but I don't think I'll try running it on NT5 beta just yet...
