I read the instructions and I think anyone who actually knows they want
this functionaility migth be interested in trying it out... though I
couldn't comment on the mac end. I know I'd like to X in from home and I
can't use UVM's X-Win32... so VNC is my only option.

Don't mistake what I'm asking here. I personally think more and more
people should try to be their own support with simple software, since most
of the help they would need can be found on the software creator's own
website, and settings for our local stuff should be posted in the same
place as the downloads themselves.
I'm stating that at $500 for a site license, it's great alternative choice
(supported or not), since I'm already just as possibly interested in
spending nearly $200 for only 15 licenses.
