gotomypc.com offers remote access via the web -- you install some software
on one machine, and then can access that machine's desktop remotely by
pointing your web browser at gotomypc.com, and telling it the name of the
machine you want to connect to. It feels very much like VNC, except they've
done something very clever: the software that you install on the machine is
(I'm guessgin) technically a client, not a server, so it works behind
firewalls. That is, it doesn't use ports whose numbers are less than 1024,
and thus most firewalls will allow the connection.
Anyway, I'm simply curious: does anyone know if indeed gotomypc is built
from a modified VNC, or, on the other hand, is it an independent bunch of
code?
