Free alternatives

I’ve spent a good portion of the morning figuring out a replacement for Adrem.  I’ve settled on a cobbled together solution of VNC for NetWare and a spiffy little program called Terminals.  It’s not the ideal solution, but it will get the job done for now.  A word to the wise, bare VNC will whip your security types into a frenzy, so watch your ass!

VNC for Netware is as easy as dumping the contents of the zip file onto the sys volume and running the following commands.

load vncpass

load vncsrv

The other benefit going this route, is that Terminals will allow for “Favorites” of servers, “tabbed browsing”, and multiple protocols so I can add all my servers to this one utility.  Still not as nice as Adrem, but it has features that the AWOL freecon didn’t have.
