Alternatives to VNC

Post by dsmcd01 »

Hello...

Don't get me wrong, I've depolyed UltraVNC to dozens of clients, but one employee (re: the Boss) has 'an issue' with VNC. He's grown accustomed to WinXP's Remote Desktop speeds, and he's now switched to a Mac, but still needs to remote into a few Win32 machines that are behind a NAT firewall.

Timbuktu isn't a viable alternative because of a few port forwarding issues regarding OSX>Windows connections. WinXP Remote Desktop won't work because he needs a shared session, and Windows Remote Assistance won't because it requires an invitation.

Other than online services, can anyone think of an alternative remote access program that is multi-platform?

TIA,
D.
