Should work fine just stay way from using a lower color depth on the
Intel Linux box. I run 16 bit for all and it works really fast. Sorry
but I think anything more then 16 bit color is waste of valuable
bandwidth! can you really see a difference? I can't.

Works fine for me... I use it about every day. I have MacOS8.6... some
versions of the Mac OS have problems running VNC
Please check the vnc mail archives or ask a question on the mailing list
at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html

Yea I have these problems with the remote X feature of MOL. I asked it
on this mailing list awhile back. No one seems to care? The VNC
solution works great and is MUCH faster then the remote X.
