Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

I think people have had mixed results with attachments.  Even if it
makes it through the list software, some people's clients and virus
scanners strip or disable them.  Thanks to Microsoft, we've had to give
up the so-called "innovation" of email-attachments out of fear of
viruses.  ;-)

VNC can be slow.  It usually helps at no more than 1024x768, 16-bit
colors, but 8-bit colors are faster.  It has been usable for me on cable
to cable with as little as 128k on each end, while 256k was much better.
