speaking of firewalls...EchoVNC 2.0 is now available

[Scott C. Best]

 	Right up front: thanks to the RealVNC guys for tolerating
this release announcement on their email list.

  	Just last week, we released version 2.00 of EchoVNC: the
only VNC flavor with integrated echoWare, allowing VNC Viewers to
connect to VNC Servers without either side having to adjust their
firewall or router settings. No, really.

 	Unlike previous versions, EchoVNC is now a full-featured
VNC Server and VNC Viewer platform, rather than simply a connection
utility for other VNC flavors. Source and binaries are available here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133100

 	EchoVNC supports the following features:

   o Secure VNC sessions to Windows PC's behind unconfigured firewalls,
     routers, and web-proxies
   o A "See Who's Available" feature in the Viewer, for point-and-click
     connection initiation
   o A "dynamic-DNS" capability for VNC Servers without static IP addresses
   o End-to-end data security with OpenSSL's 128-bit AES encryption
   o Support for HTTP, SOCKS and ISA/NTLM web-proxies
   o Fully interoperable with other VNC flavors

  	As EchoVNC is based (with thanks!) on Ultr "at" VNC, it also provides
these capabilities:

   o Remote-desktoping with either VNC password or NT authentication
   o Bidirectional file-transfer
   o Real time chat window
   o Utilizes the open-source "Mirror Driver" for improved VNC performance

  	As always, any questions/comments/suggestions are appreciated!

thanks (and Happy New Year!),
Scott
