I've been a long time Chicken of the VNC user. That program has always worked quite well, but is slow. JF is significantly faster. Congratulations. The last version had a problem which was a deal breaker, the lack of reliable CRTL key command transmission on Macs (I have a MacBookPro (Intel, 10.5.7) that I use to access my Dual 2.3GHz G5 running OS X 10.4.11). Now that you've fixed the problem, I'm going to give JF an extended try.

One thing I would like to see: the ability to control the rate at which cursor movement at the sides, top, or bottom of the local screen causes the remote screen to move. Currently, it appears that when the cursor reaches a threshold, the remote screen moves entirely the opposite way. This can make it difficult to "fine tune" where you want the cursor to go on the remote screen. One needs to re-orient oneself after each quantum movement. Can you create a slider that allows one to SLOWLY make the remote screen move when the cursor reaches its edges?

Thanks for considering this. Also, I'm a strong supporter of open source software, freeware, and shareware. So, I will be happy to pay once you've reached the fc stage.

Finally, can't send email to jolly@jinx.de. For some reason, I get an error message with the address (SMTP Protocol Error: 550 5.1.1 <Suggestion>... User unknown).

My E-Mail works. Have a look what you mail server tells you, why you can't send the e-mail.

The sliders are actually in there :-)

I'm confused... - vt.aaron

How is this different from the VNC capabilities that are built into the computer?
