Are you aware that NetMeeting is using the RDP protocol?, The same protocol that Windows Terminal Server is using. I don't think that VNC uses the bandwidth better then NetMeeting, other then that all the other stuff you mentioned are current. -----Original Message----- From: ScanMan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: b 11 cvnax 2001 00:33 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Help me settle a friendlly argument 1) Size. VNC fits on a floppy; NetMeeting is huge. 2) Speed. NetMeeting takes forever to load. 3) RAM footprint. VNC is small enough to be run continuously. NetMeeting takes large amounts of RAM. 4) Network Bandwidth. NetMeeting is sluggish even on low-latency connections. Running several NetMeeting sessions will quickly bog down a LAN. 5) Can run from a Web browser. 6) More flexible. 7) More stable & reliable.
