#24 Listen mode - feature

[Anonymous]

Add listen mode, so that a VNC server can initiate a reverse connection with vncconnect.

This is helpful when the server is behind a firewall and does not have
access to open ports on said firewall.

Although none of the OS X VNC servers seemed to have ported the vncconnect function, this would be a good start...

connections.

-connectHost host Host Name or IP of listening client to establishing a
reverse conneect

conneect
