Plea for help - Default timeout for accept incoming connections, automatically reject

[Jerome R. Westrick]

The PromptUser option is built to allow the Logged on user 
to reject the connection.  It's also used so that nobody can
connect with the users explicit permision.

This doesn't seam to be what you want...
And will most probably not be changed to do what you want
as a lot more people like it as it is....

But instead of paying for 15,000$ for payware, why not offer
some of that to the Developers of RealVnc to add your feature
as a priority request?  And then we can all can use it?
