MacVNC - VNC server for Macintosh

Introduction

Use of the Mac server should be straightforward if you are familiar with the concepts behind VNC, and have a suitable VNC viewer running on another machine.  Read 'What is VNC?' and 'Getting Started' if you haven't already done so - they'll give you a good overview, despite being Unix and Windows-orientated. 

Note. This is a beta release. As with all VNC software, you use at your own risk!  We welcome bug fixes and comments.

Requirements:

To use the Macintosh VNC server, you will need:

• A PowerPC-based machine
• MacOS 7.1 or greater. System 7.5.3 is available as a free download from Apple.
• Open Transport (1.1.1 or later). OT 1.1.2 can be downloaded from Apple. If you are using MacOS later than 8.0 you can use 1.3

Quick Start

• Download the package from the Download page and expand it using a recent Stuffit Expander.
• Double Click VNC Server Installer
• Restart Machine
• Open VNC Controls control panel (or select Options from the server's File menu)
• Set password for display 0
• Press Okay, then double click VNCServer

You should now be able to go to another machine which has a TCP/IP connection to this one, and connect using a VNC viewer.
