Hi Mike,

No worries.

I am not familiar enough with VNC to suggest anything.  I will have to
get together with our system administrators to see if they can come
up with any ideas.

>Thanks in advance.

I won't be able to get to this for at least a couple of days.  I
apologize for the delay!

Cheers,

Tom
