About VNCServer:
VNCServer lets you use your BeOS computer from anywhere there is an Internet connection. You can think of it as a really long keyboard, mouse and video cable!

A VNC client (available elsewhere for Windows, Mac, Linux, others) shows you the BeOS screen and sends keystrokes and mouse actions to your BeOS system over the Internet. The VNCServer software running on BeOS takes that data from the client, and simulates button presses on a fake keyboard and movements of an imaginary mouse. In the opposite direction, it scans your BeOS screen for changes, compresses the resulting graphics data and transmits it to the client.

This is a port of VNC using RealVNC's version 4.0 final source code (which has an extremely well designed class structure, making it easy to do this port). There are lots of VNC clients out there, but I can recommend the RealVNC ones as working very well under Windows. You can get their clients, servers and source code at http://www.realvnc.com/
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
The fake cross cursor is now on by default ("vncserver ShowCheapCursor=1") and it has been changed to a larger and more colourful shape for better visibility when using an iPad VNC client. PPC is still the old 1.18 version.
