Re: [LUG] practical use of VNC, teleporting etc

[Rick Timmis <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

We run VNC as a thin client service at supertramp, we currently run 
about 20 sessions on our IBM and users connect from either Terminals or 
PC's. The PC's are sometimes quite slow especially on lower power 
models. This system has proved very succesful so far and have had no 
problems with it.

As I understand it the original development team are going to be putting 
further work into VNC and are planning to develop the product further 
with the possible inclusion of a commercial version.

The great advantage of VNC is you can deploy 1 Server and connect 
everyone else in via an inexpensive dumb terminal. We use Axel Terminals 
at around £200 each, this means we can by the Terminal and a really nice 
Flat screen TFT for less than the price of an office PC. No moving parts 
in a Terminal so less problems.
