Apple Remote Desktop!

If you have not had the chance to try Apple Remote Desktop in 10.3 you have to give it a go.

I hear you ask why?

It rocks its almost as fast as Terminal Services, no more waiting for screen redraws : )

Give it a go if you can.

Sounds good! As I'm using 'such software' only between operating systems (WinXP to Mac OS X and vice versa) I'm stuck with VNC for the moment, though... (Which, of course, has terrible screen redraw problems...)

So you don't get the awful tearing when, say, using doc zooming? Incredibly latent screen redraws? In other words, no more VNC-like speed?

I don't have a second Mac here so I can't try it out at the moment (I'd spend EXTRA money if they'd just put out a Windows client, though I'd like to point out again that MS has a Windows, Mac, and LINUX client for terminal services/remote desktop... For "free"...)

Don't you have to buy Apple Remote Desktop to be able to control another 10.3 mac ?
I thought that it was just the client side settings that was included in 10.3

Guess that's what he meant, gumse. Of course you should only try it when you've bought it.

No, that's still there, but in general screen redraws are much faster. There's still some drawing delays, but in general performance is definitely improved. There's a new RD menu extra, too!

Yes you do need the ARD Admin software.

On my local network I dont see any screen tearing but I have been unable to get it to work over our wan. It looks like the port number has changed.

OS X 10.3 remote clients work better then 10.2 clients.
