Mike M I found the graphon site very hard to read for info. So I am going guess a bit here. "screen scrape" is what pcAnywhere used to do - send the screen buffer (framebuffer) every so often. If you did that you would btw be porting the entire desktop/user-session. Citrix may also be doing the same, although the technology will have to be different to fit a 10kb circuit. Graphon remotes only an application. So, obviously it can't rely on the screen image. Presumably it will also work with existing apps. So it must be intercepting the graphics and re-routing them to the remote site. At what level does it trap the graphics is hard to say (for me). If you "remote" only an application, how does the app get started ? I will guess that there is also a user agent by Graphon running on the host side that will interface with the OS. If you "remote'd" the desktop presumably you also get the start button. I don't know which one is better. "Less memory" needs to be quantified. Usually network is the bigger bottleneck. As an aside, graphon.com failed to work. They need a webmaster !! I hope I have not stretched it too far... -Dinesh
