Hello Steve,
As I mentioned earlier I can connect for example to my mac using VNC on
my 2100. I connect successfully and up top it says iMac 1024X768. The
screen remains blank. But, one thing I have noticed when I use VNC is
that in the status bar at the bottom it allways says Update(full) - does
this mean anything? I haven't changed any settings on my newton or the
mac.
Regards,
Richard
