[AccessD] Remote keyboards and monitors

Erwin,

  A cheaper way around that problem is Netmeeting, which gives you the
console.  Most don't know that it's built right into XP (just do run, the
"conf" and click OK).  For other OS's it's a simple install.

  Not as full featured as pcAnywhere (which I love) by any means, but a heck
of a lot cheaper<g>.

Jim.

I confirm.
I use PC Anywhere for ages now, and TS is the fastest even over low
speed links.

But I still use PC Anywhere for remote management because these KVM
software are the only one that can be used to see the "real" screen of a
server. I case of error messages or real server KVM interaction TS is
not useable.

I seen softwareupdates give an error on the real adminitrator screen
while I was installing it via a TS session.
Also scheduled programs give an error on the "real" administrator
screen, not in the TS session.

So for remote server management you would still need an PC Anywhere or
VNC type soft.
Altoug for remote user management I use TS because it's much faster.

Erwin

Yea, it seems.  MS TS is tightly integrated with windows and sends much
less info for a given change in screen.

VNC of any variety is much slower than terminal server.  I use both in
various situations.

Hi John and Marty:

The VNC stuff looks very interesting and maybe TermServer is worth a
second look.

Thanks for the info
Jim

I believe that was among one of the first apps for realvnc from att
cambridge labs to connect one PC to monitor multiple servers
