Hello All,

A windows user was using radmin to monitor and view other desktops in his LAN. However after its time period expired, it turns out that it costs more that 60K for a 50 user license. So I looked for a libre equivalent and found this below that works in Windows and Linux. It is distributed under the GNU GPL license.

On reading its docs, I found it to be almost similar to radmin in installation and use, but with better security. I installed it in windows and its working fine. From one station, the user can monitor other desktops and have discussions with other users without having to be physically present at their terminal. Picture quality is excellent.
