[olug] looking for an application

[Brian Wiese]

TightVNC is newer/better version of older standard VNC software.  I
haven't used it personally, but have heard of many successes.

This came up on a quick google, setting up a WinNT machine with vnc using
cygwin, but I don't know why, there is a view for windows.

Something turned up on Linux Journal.
