JollysFastVNC
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..

Just switched from "Chicken of the VNC".
CotVNC for some reason won't allow me to right click at all. A reinstall didn't work. I then came across this rival.
It is noticeably faster, and will probably get faster still when 8bit monitor depth mode is enabled in a future release.
I'm using a PPC 1.67Ghz and these are some comparitive results on the host whilst "sweeping" through the dock with the mouse in the remote desktop for each prog (both at 16bit res):
CofVNC - 38% CPU usage, 15Mb Real mem, 236Mb Virtual mem.
JollyfVNC - 7% CPU usage, 19Mb Real mem, 246Mb Virtual mem.
Only 4Mb more ram for over 5x less CPU usage is a good trade off in my book.
I like the app but the icon is hideous. Does anyone have a good replacement icon?
first vnc client which really does what it should. hope, to see more usefull features :)
finally I can use vnc to access my windows computer running media portal. I just hope it adds a few things like the ability to send control alt del.
