Re: VNC Performance on OS 9.2 SIMS Machine less-than-stellar

[Tod Fitch]

Even more off topic: I have a VNC server on my company supplied Windows 
machine. When I absolutely have to access some Windows specific 
software I access it though the VNC client on my OS X iBook. And the 
performance is depressingly poor. (Good thing that most of my remote 
access is X windows onto a Sun box.) Any notes or hints on improving 
VNC performance in general? By the way, the only thing the old VNC 
server did for my OS 8 box was to make it very unstable. I have not 
tried running a VNC server on a Mac since.

To change the topic to a little more mail server specific: Does anyone 
on this list have opinions about "Sender Permitted From" (SPF) as 
described at http://spf.pobox.com/

Or, for that matter, opinions on the concept of greylisting as 
described at http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/

Both of these seem to twist the existing RFC standards a bit but on the 
surface, both seem to have some promise if I understand them correctly. 
And neither of them will be supported by SIMS but do seem to be 
supported by postfix and sendmail.

I can't agree with that. I run both VNC and Timbuktu and there is a 
big difference, above all in performance. I am now in England and I 
can manage my servers in Japan (both running Mac OS 9 and X) 
comfortably with Timbuktu 6.03 but when I try to do the same thing 
with VNC it feels like viewing a slow motion replay.



I recently got into VNC over my local network but have been really 
disappointed by the performance on my SIMS server. Its PM6500 running 
96 megs of RAM and about 75% of the disk space is available. The os 
is 9.x, x being whichever the most current supported version for that 
machine is.

The cursor moves achingly slow, and I'm even using the Java client! 
(Which is actually better on a LAN than any full-on "client 
application" has ever been for me.  If I could be neat to get the 
performance up to at least the level of the totally half-assed 
"Remote Administrator", my workday would be a little better...  If 
anybody has any suggestions to improve the performance of VNC, I'd 
love to hear it.


Ummm... Run OS X?

I've actually never tried VNC to control classic MacOS and was not 
aware of a functional VNC server for 9 or earlier. I have no problems 
with responsiveness, using the current OSXvnc as the server and either 
TightVNC (Windows) or Chicken of the VNC (OS X) as the client.
