being one who sails about the planet on his own, i've often had to
duck below to check my nav software whilst negotiating a passage with
the remote on the autotiller, and often get sidetracked whilst i'm
there...

until now.

what i've got running now is vnc server on the laptop with a wireless
nic and vncviewer on the wireless pda, it works like a charm and it
also means i can keep the laptop more securely stashed away in a
drawer. there's an excellent freeware version for the pocketpc and on
the pda it is much better than mstsc.

the laptop is out of the elements and less prone to be knocked about
in a storm.

happy lil vegemite

cheers

hmm now if only jrc would update their radar firmware with vnc on the
display...

Yea,
but how about the ayc's interface with the pmu and the interference of the
aae withthe smtop, arw the qpps and the dbpw. Anyway what about linking the
qpir with the husw through the appwu and back via the wquic to the qloysb?
If I were you I'd try it all pdq.

VNC is a free (well semi) remote control desktop app, in a similar vain to
PC Anywhere, MS Remote Desktop etc.

see http://www.realvnc.com/ if you are interested.

So what does the n stand for? Nigel, Norbert, Neil or is dnp something much
more sinister...

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) software makes it possible to view and
fully-interact with one computer from any other computer or mobile device
anywhere on the Internet. VNC software is cross-platform, allowing remote
control between different types of computer. For ultimate simplicity,
there is even a Java viewer, so that any desktop can be controlled
remotely from within a browser without having to install software.
