Known Mac Server Conflicts?

[Noah Eiger]

The reason that I had them both running is that Timbuktu was already 
installed and operational, VNC was a test.

TB2 (that is, Timbuktu) allows for file transfers, chatting, direct 
dialing, voice chatting, and some other feature. VNC seems to be just 
the remote control/observation.

 From my perspective, the problem with TB2 is that it only operates on 
the port assigned by the manufacturer. (I am still looking into ways 
around this). It also costs around $150 for a two user package.

TB2 is a great product, if you have the cash and don't need to run it 
on things besides Mac or W9x, or NT. Your Solaris install might pose 
a problem here.
