Hello everybody,

we have a solution for sharing TightVNC Server with several participants
without experiencing any "bottleneck" when 10 or 20 people are connected at
the same time.

We are using VNC Reflector (written by the person who build TightVNC
Server), which we modified in such a way, that several "moderators" can
share their screen with several groups of participants. That means that 5
Moderators can share their screens to 5 or more groups with 10 or more
participants simultaneously. Another nice feature is that it works together
with jforwarer-server, which enables http-tunnelinng. 

We noticed, however, that screen refreshes are not always as fast as we
wish, even in very small groups with a few people. We first thought that the
VNC Reflector was slowing down things, but it does not. 

We believe the reason is, that we use TightVNC Server 1.2 which does not use
any video driver. Version 1.3 does use the dfmirage driver but is still a
developer version and a bit buggy.

Question 1: Do you know whether we can use UltraVNC Server to connect to VNC
Reflector?

Question 2: We have modified the TightVNC Server in so far, that it is able
to listen to some http://posts and requests. Is anybody out here in the
group who could "teach" UltraVNC Server to do the same thing.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Cheers
