VNC (Virtual Network Computing)

[dreael]

Due the lack of X11 support to get a remote desktop over the network (remote administration of a Mac), I'd like to use VNC. See

http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

for details. There's Mac port of it which succesfully works on MacOS 8.1 and MacOS 9 but I can't get running this app in MacOS X's Classic environment. :-(

Did anybody have more success than me with VNC or are there any alternatives for remote administration?

Greetings Dreäl

I haven't heard anything about a working VNC server for OS X yet, but there is an client app available:

Ok...I've got that installed, open it & give the IP of a Linux I'd like to get on (it's got vnc installed on it, too...only it's not here & I'm not the one who installed it).

I get the following: "OTConnect failed"
