There has been some discussion about doing this.  It seems that the Unix
server is the one that is best suited for having multiple connections
simultaneously.  The solution?  Have a unix vnc client vieweing the
instructor's station, and have the students viewing the unix machine.  A
sort of vnc proxy.

There was a suggestion made that the unix server could be compiled without
all of the x code and just accept the name of the host that it was to
rebroadcast.  Has anyone looked at doing that?  And if someone does, how
about porting *that* to wintel....

Thanks,

Albert
