[AccessD] Remote keyboards and monitors

Hi Francisco:

Great insight and information. There appears to be at least 5 different
versions of VNC. Is UltraVNC to top of heap...the pro version?  

Thanks
Jim

I've never used TS so I can't attest to it's speed, however I have
used pcAnywhere, GoToMyPC and UltraVNC (and actually a slew of other
VNC distros) for my uses UltraVNC is the solution, on a LAN the
connection is so fast it's like I'm sitting in front of the server,
however over a DSL line (128k up) the connection is remarkably usable.
 Since I program in both VBA and TSQL, I can take entire scripts or
snippets of code and paste them accross the internet to my work pc or
home pc with a simple CTRL C / CTLR V the clipboard (text) information
seamlessly copies itself over all networks w/o any problems.

The way I use my GoToMyPc account is I login to my work pc, then
"reverse" send the connection back to my home pc so that the
connection I acctually use is the UltraVNC connection rather than the
GoToMyPc connection. ( I then close gotomypc).

working in this manner also grants me the facility to transfer large
files over it's built in FTP client/server. to send database backups
back and forth from work.  YOU "SHOULD" install the software virtual
monitor software, which enables your pc to forward typical hardware
redraws through the vncMonitor so that they are quickly redrawn on the
remote.  Additionally Ultra has a newer "ultra" encoder which works
remarkably effecient on LANs

having never used TS I cannot say which is acctually faster, but for
ones I've used it is "extreamly" useful.
