Hi Mark: That seems to be the common consensus. I think I will stick with Remote Desktop/TermServer for my MS products... now which version of VNC is best for the Linux server?

I have to say that I love it, it is really super. Beats VNC handsdown. The only time that I use VNC now is if from some authetentication problem, I cannot log on with Remote Desktop. Fortunately, I do not have to connect to Linux so MS does me fine. If you can get the MS solution working, you may well prefer it. On a lan it feels like you are on the PC MArk On Tue, 15 Feb 2005 21:31:33 -0800, Jim Lawrence <accessd at shaw.ca> wrote: > Hi Francisco: > > Great insight and information.
