[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd once heard that the difference between NT4.0workstation and NT4.0server was three registry entries... and $1200.

Yah, I do already have VNC installed on a number of machines but was hoping to use rdesktop since it seemed a bit more elegant to work *with* the remote OS (by interposing at the GUI primitive level) rather than despite it (repainting the screen pixel for pixel and blindly reporting mouse/keyboard events). I do love Microsoft. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
