Re: vnc comparison?

Ok, that makes sense. I was just going on the fact that you had a choice between Windows, Unix and VNC.

I'm using it to connect to my computer at home. It uses a upload-capped cable modem (so its set to ISDN), so its squeaking by. Response to some input seems delayed. I would call it usable, which couldn't be said for VNC.

I notice that cacheing your talking about when browsing a web page. Its faster to scroll up and down in areas of a page I've already looked at.

I take you're saying your monthly quota is 100% used and the service is making difficult to upload things.

I say this because, even if your "up" connection is limited to, say, 33Kbps, you would still have an usable experience with NX (I've use ICA in this situation and NX is said to equal or better than it).

Could someone in-the-know throw some 2¢ here?

No its capped at about 15-20 kpbs (the supposed minimum upload is 32 kbps second, but it seems to be more like thats the max), there isn't a quota. ISPs with quotas are un-American. Like I said, its usable but sometimes unresponsive. With VNC its easy to gauge if its being responsive enough since the mouse cursor is drawn remotely, but the cursor with NX is always responsive.

I know your overall internet connection can be hosed by using all your upload bandwidth. It could be a situation where limiting the amount of bandwidth available to NX would make things more reliable.
