[CS-FSLUG] Hacker...Me

[Jim Isbell, W5JAI]

Thanks, that's a start at the three projects, and perhaps the most
pressing project as my wife didn't like MagicJack until she saw the
screen display of the phone book.  Now she wants it in every room....I
think I created a "Frankenstein"

OK, I'm game, as the guy said just before the Aggie shot him.

I went to CNR and installed xtightvncviewer.  I then did a commandline
 xtightvncviewer and it produced a screen with a dialog box and a
cursor and a logo at the top, "VNC Server:".  Exactly what I do with
that I dont know.

Also I need to know where I get the VNC application that I install on
the XP machine.  Is that something that comes with XP or is it a third
party application?  I did a search on the XP machine for "VNC" and
found nothing under that either within the file or in the name of the
file.

Once both are installed, where do I find directions on how to use them?
