there are several flavors of VNC. even "spyware" VNC. http://www.tridiavnc.com/news/time_response.html
I don't remember exactly what they did with this version, but I think it has better compression than the AT&T version. http://www.tridiavnc.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Hilton Travis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 5:54 PM Subject: RE: [Leaf-user] Is anybody using radmin behind lrp? > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, 11 October 2001 08:31 > > > Hilton Travis wrote: > > > > Hi Patrick, > > > > The advantage of RAdmin over vnc is that it is much > > lighter on traffic.

Like NetBEUI is lighter than TCP/IP. They either compress the data better than vnc does, or they use some other way to transmit less data. Have a look at a traffic moniotor when u r running either app, and you'll notice RAdmin uses a lot less network bandwidth. ESPECIALLY so compared to PCAnywhere. :-) But, anyone who seriously uses PCAnywhere needs to be beaten to death with a hundred plastic teaspoons.
