C.For Macintosh servers (and clients):

OSXvnc http://www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html is a robust, full-featured VNC server for Mac OS X that allows any VNC client to remotely view and/or control the Mac OS X machine. OSXvnc is supported by Redstone Software.

D.Most other operating systems (Solaris, HPUX, PalmOS etc) either come with VNC bundled, or have third-party VNC software that you can download.

6.9.2Install, configure and connect the VNC Viewer

VNC is truly platform-independentso a VNC Viewer on any operating system can connect to a VNC Server on any other operating system. There are Viewers (and Servers) from a wide selection of sources (for example, UltraVNC TightVNC or RealVNC) for most operating systems. There are also a wealth of Java viewers available so that any desktop can be viewed with any Java-capable browser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC lists many of the VNC Viewers sources).

Install the VNC Viewer software and set it up for the appropriate speed connection.

Note To make VNC faster, when you set up the Viewer:

Set encoding to ZRLE (if you have a fast enough CPU).

Decrease color level (e.g. 64 bit).

Disable the background transmission on the Server or use a plain wallpaper. (Refer to http://doc.uvnc.com for detailed configuration instructions)
