Let's say I'm running the server on Solaris and I usually connect from a
viewer running under Windows.  I sometimes I connect via ethernet from the
same subnet and it's super fast (10 Mbps), sometimes from DSL at home (384
kbps, say) and sometimes from a 28.8 kbps modem.  Can I launch a single
tightVNC session and connect to it in different ways from different
places?  That is, can the viewer tell the server how to encode the data
for transmission?  Or do I have to accept whatever I told the server to do
when I first started the session?
