This looks like a real find.

VNC could save a ton of work and frustration for both the victim of a cranky computer and her support gladiator. Imagine, no more explaining 'ANY' keys, or trying to phone guide the brain-dead through the labyrinth appearing after right clicking.

Thank-you for sharing the gem.

Cheers, PW.

I wonder if trojans like Netbus played a role remote control programs we are seeing more of these days?

Looks like Netbus is trying to go legit:
netbus.org

History:
netbus.org

I think the story was that it was developed for legit purposes, but hackers abused it.

Hi mr. mark,

I discussed VNC, Virtual Network Computing, with a friend who's a computer consultant. He suggested that anyone interested in remotely administering another computer ought to take a look at Remote Administrator:

famatech.com

My friend finds it far superior and agrees with this statement from the Radmin website:

What's special in Radmin?
The speed : All other remote control systems
work much more slowly than Radmin. For
example, when we tested a famous program
that is widely used, the VNC (Virtual Network
Computing, AT&T product), we found out that
Radmin works 150 times faster than the VNC
does.
Also, Remote Administrator outperforms other
remote control systems (pcANYWHERE,
Timbuktu, Rapid Remote, Remote Control,
LapLink).


Best, Ray :)
