DESCRIPTION
JollysFastVNC is a VNC client which aims to become the best VNC client on the Mac. When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there are enough VNC clients out there to support it. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. Without a proper viewer people can't access ScreenRecycler in a way I imagined. So I started programming JollysFastVNC to enable people using ScreenRecycler. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client. It's still in the early stages of development, even though somewhat usable and fast.

10BASET  I realy apreciate this peace of software but the only thing I need it for is to access ms windows based servers via VNC.

Is it possible that you implement a button that let the bonjour-scanner deactivate?

TIA  (Version 0.96.30)

E_COMMERCE  After all this time it still doesn't support tunneled SSH connections properly. For instance:

Local: MacBook Pro, 1440x900

Remote: Mac Mini, 1024x768

ssh -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5900 mini

This will tunnel any request for port 5902 on the local machine to the remote mini over SSH (I use 5902 because I already have VNC servers running locally on 5900 and 5901). When I use JFVNC to connect, I get the picture of the remote system in a window the size of the local system. No other VNC client does this on any platform I've used (Ubuntu, UltraVNC, Palm microVNC, Apple's Screen Sharing, Chicken, etc).

Reported for the last six months at least, no progress. I'd really like to use this, but for now I just can't.  (Version 0.96.28)
