[G4] Beige G3 OS X Freezing

[William Wiseman]

I am booting w/o a monitor. The G3 normally resides behind cabinet,  
under a table, and buried under my router, Airport base station and  
an external drive I was too lazy to install internal. :-)

  I have OSXvnc set to start when the G3 starts up (even though I  
normally leave G3 running). If I need to do something, I start CotVNC  
on one of my other units and do what needs done w/o problems. The  
only drawback is that the screen redraw (of the G3 feed) is a bit  
slow so you have to be careful when clicking on moving items, like  
magnifying Dock icons.

Both programs have new versions out since summer and work very well  
together.
CotVNC can be found at: sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/

OSXVnc can be found at: sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc

This was the best solution I found for cheap remote access.
