glad you got it working; I was worried there for a moment was something
terribly wrong with it since all the reports I'd seen so far were problems
with either partial connection, or with nothing on screen. hopefully folks
can provide me with a few details such as what server they're connecting to,
anything about its configuration, whether they've changed any VNC client
Prefs. if problems continue, one option is to email me a server address
(and temporary password) and I could try to connect (maybe with some
debugging traces on) and see if I can pursue problems further.

the refresh problem in this version is well known. I'm going to look at
maintaining a local bitmap -- if it's not as slow as I feared, then that
would help a lot.

me too! -- I've got a Wavelan card on my Powerbook and wife's PC laptops (I
suppose I might have to mess with configuring the access point to make sure
my systems can talk to each other directly; I get confused about all of the
IP mapping that's going on between that and my hub).
