    UNQ1  I love using this app with my palm 700p. They work very well together and the ease of use BEATS! VNC hands down. This version somehow seems broken. When I start up Astro and login with my palm....everything is fine, BUT after I logout with my palm and the desktop app sits idle foe awhile, it seems to lose connectivity with the open port and reports that it's NOT forwarded which is untrue because I've used a port checker and it says it IS open. Very strange, but I hope the developer(s) know of a fix. Previous versions worked just fine.  (Version 1.89)

    MACNEWS  Given the algorithm used, he might as well not be using encryption at all. DES was broken many years ago.

    Try searching for a little app called Ferret (runs in Classic), and see how quickly and easily it decrypts DES passwords in the system. TripleDES would work here, but DES is like having no encryption whatsoever.  (Version 1.71)

    ANONYMOUS  I've tried many of the VNC offerings and this one was the easiest to set up, BUT the 5 minute trial period is ridiculous. Who can evaluate a piece of sw in 5 minutes. I have written the developers this date and hope they chose a more consumer friendly trial implementation.   (Version 1.38)

    ***½.

    ANONYMOUS  Seems to be an encrypted version of VNC, as except encryption, seems to behave exactly the same incl. the VNC typical bugs, ie, the non recognition of foreign keyboards (mine are French).

    As for VNC, that can be bypassed at 90% by setting one computer keyboard (remote or server) as US and the other one (server or remote, respectively) in the foreign keyboard setup (French for me). However numbers are not recognized, except with Fn-J, Fn-P (etc) exactly as VNC... amazing coincidence, no ?

    If their fix this, they will have a superiority over the "OSXvnc/chicken_of_the_VNC" couple, which still does not recognize foreign keyboards (and for which one must do the above).

    As for VNC, these 2 softwares are faster than Timbuktu (mine is 603 Enterprise; using 512K ADSL on one hand and T1-gigabit on the other).

    However, a good point: the documentation and easy instructions are online (thanks ! finally !).

    We wait for more... The Linux version might be cool too.  (Version 1.38)
