This suggests, Tristan, that you're one of the Xvnc guys.

Question:  Wyse is using VNC in the Winterm 5355.  The VNC code is
GPLd, as is Xfree, which they are almost certainly also using.

Being able to use VNC to co-pilot an Xvnc server the way you can
copilot a WinVNC server -- which the Winterm clearly does -- would be
something I'd like to see in the stock Xvnc server.

Theoretically, Wyse has already done this work.

You can probably pry it out of them much more easily than we can.  :-)

Any contacts on this front?

Cheers,
