There were plans at one time, and a few people had gotten together quite the initial discussion on the topic. If I remember correctly, Andrew Van Der Stock was involved. Please forgive me... I don't remember the names of everyone involved. I believe Glenn Mabbutt weighed in, and perhaps Scott Best. I'm pretty sure the project had a space on sourceforge. I just wish I could remember the name of the project. I've been wondering for over a year what happened to this project. Late in 2000, there was much discussion about it, then, poof!
I've looked through the mailing archives, searching for sourceforge and there aren't any references that go back that far. And I don't have time to read the October/November/December 2000 archives. Sorry. What ever did happen with this project, anyway? - John >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: Best VNC? >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 11:55:25 +0000 >> >>Hi, >> >>I've been using the Real VNC for about 4 months now, and think its a great bit of software for remote admin, its installed on 150 >>workstations, and means I don't have to walk all around the warehouse.
