[TriLUG] LastFoot.com VNCSERVER

[Jon Carnes]

Joseph, "lastfoot" was a divergent line of VNC.  It was designed to use a
tiny foot print, and be as light weight as possible.  I don't think anyone
has worked on the opensource version in a while.  I've heard some folks say
nice things about it, but VNC has always met my needs.
