Sounds like you started thinking bout the problem like a programmer - like me.. :) I wanted to see if someone else had already done this before I started writing code...
Good call on the icons though. Didn't even think of that. Should cover most of what I'm looking for for now though. Simon: I use the standard terminal server client that comes on Ubuntu. Works well enough, though it does have some quirks to sort out - more with saving/loading different profiles though. But it is only an RDP/VNC tool. That's one (or two - but I don't use VNC) out of many connection methods I need.. :) Shawn Mark Carlson wrote: > On 5/18/08, Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I'm finding that I need to connect to a number of servers on a regular >> basis, using different connection methods.
