vnc-server-3.3.3r2-28.2: "connection refused" or "end of stream"

[James Weatherall]

Hi Calvin,

You can download the standard source-code for VNC Free Edition 4.1.2 from
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html  The standard source code is a tarball,
not a source RPM, though.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
