  Virtual Network Computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a desktop sharing system which uses the RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol to remotely control another computer.
VNC was created at the Olivetti and Oracle Research Lab, which was then owned by Olivetti and Oracle Corporation.
The name originates from a thin client ATM Network Computer called the Videotile, which was essentially an LCD with a pen input and a fast ATM connection to the network.

 Network computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term network computing first appears informally in the late 1970's to denote computers working together over a network, as opposed to stand-alone computing.
As network protocols became part of increasing numbers of commercial systems in the 1980's, the term "network computing" became increasing redundant.
The technology for this already existed at the time, in text based computing in the form of remote-login, and in the GUI form of the X11 windowing system, which allowed a workstation to act as a thin client to a remote machine.

 Virtual Network Computing
VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately.
VNC allows a person at a remote computer to assume control of another computer across a network, as if they were sitting in front of the other computer.
For example, VNC can be used to provide a flexible hot-desking and road-warrior environment by allowing employees to access their office desktop and server machines from any machine in the company's offices or from other remote sites, regardless of the type of computers involved at either end.

 What is Virtual Network Computing?
Virtual network computing is a remote display system that allows you to view a computer’s desktop display from different locations.
Virtual network computing is a small and simple to use system that can be integrated into your own computer without the need for any installation.
Virtual network computing is also shareable, which means that several people can view the desktop on their machines.

 Virtual Network Computing - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
VNC by default uses ports 5900 to 5906, each representing the corresponding X screen (ports 6000 to 6006, for screens :0 to :6).
As with any server software, if the port used by this service is explicitly blocked by a firewall it is practically impossible to break into the service.
In other words a network administrator has to enable firewalling for 5901 on the local router in order to prevent access from outside the LAN.

The name originates from a very-thin-client ATM Network Computer called the Videotile, which was essentially an LCD with a pen input and a fast ATM connection to the network.
VNC is a very simple protocol, based one graphic primitive: "Put a rectangle of pixel data at a given x,y position".
Because VNC's source code was released under the GNU General Public License, several variants of the program are now available, designed to address certain issues or inadequacies their developers found in the original implementation.

 Virtual Network Computing (NetAnswers Internet Extra newsletter, 1998)
VNC is a free program that allows you to control a computer that is connected to the Internet from any other Net-connected computer.
There are two parts to VNC: the server, which must be running on the computer that you want to access remotely; and the client, the software that provides your window to the remote computer.
VNC makes it easy to pick up work on your computer from just about any other computer with a Net connection.

 Sharing computers on a Linux (or heterogeneous) network, Part 1
SSH provides text terminals to remote computers; the X Window System can be used to display interactive applications on workstations other than the one where they actually run; VNC can act as a "remote-control" to an entire remote desktop.
VNC provides a lightweight protocol for displaying the entire "desktop" of a remote computer on a local system.
connection to a remote computer is functionally the same as sitting in front of the local monitor and keyboard for that remote computer (assuming it is not headless).

 Virtual Network Computing | Linux Journal
The bottom line is that, while VNC does function over a modem to a certain extent, I would not recommend using it as anything other than a last-resort backup for your normal means of access to the desired remote computer.
Because VNC is an abstract protocol and does not link to the underlying graphics system (i.e., at the accelerator level), it sees the screen as only a pixmap and does not follow what X or the Windows GDI is doing.
VNC is well-suited for applications where remote access to and from diverse platforms is needed, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good graphical remote access tool.
