- VisionWare's XVision was the first MS-Windows based PC XServer to
- licence the XRemote software from NCD.
- We make similar claims about the increase in speed over SLIP/PPP
- - (its the same protocol and at the host end the same code :)
- We use XRemote in-house and for staff to dial into the office.
- There are certain types of application which perform _better_ than
- others when using XRemote:
- Apps which do a lot of line drawing / textual operations are fine
- because many of the messages are similar and the redundancy can be
- stripped out.
- Apps which use a lot of imaging - eg sending of big bitmaps, perform
- less well because all the data has to squeeze thru the serial line.
