since you asked, I'm always glad to provide input...
the current Newton Waba VM does have Socket support, so that's a plus --
though I haven't heavily tested it. (only some small pages for port :80).
the Java VNC code I'm aware of is at:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
other implementations anyone is aware of?
any public VNC servers I could use for testing?
(one less thing for me to have to set up).
in the meanwhile, I'll might be willing to take a closer look to see if
there are any showstoppers (for porting, beyond obvious ui stuff);
performance could ultimately be the killer...
anyone else want to do the port (and I'll help with Waba issues)?
