What do you mean 2before, when it was public"? I thought that it still was 
public.

I have used VNC successfully. I have used it to control NT boxes (located at 
a cold, server room) fom my desktop at my office, with a nice coffe at my 
hands.

I have used it both from vnc-client on Windows9x and from a java-enabled 
browser in Linux.

Pros: 
-it works, 
-it is great.
-it is multi-platform on clients
-it is multi-platform on servers
-great on intranets

Cons: 
-it is not encripted communicaiton (maybe you can enncript it on a ssh tunnel 
or something
-it needs an special port open on your firewall
-it is a little slow (or so it felt) through internet


I recommend it on firewalled intranets. It is very good.



Salut,
Sinner
