You can get the Fog Creek Copilot modified VNC code here:

And there’s a new version of Fog Creek Copilot out that works on Macs too.

If they modified the VNC source code to make it through firewalls, they are required to release the source code under the GPL license. Where can it be found?

On a related note, take a look at http://www.vncscan.com if you manage lots of nodes on your network. It is a VNC manager that doesn’t charge per-computer and there are no subscription fees. You run everything in-house.

I’m all for advertising but at least be honest about it

Copilot does work through firewalls (or at least it went through the ones I tried it with), as it routes traffic via their servers so it’s peer to peer but both sides are making outbound connections. I suspect you’re doing something similar, because I can’t see another way around the inherent problem of remote control through NAT routers and firewalls.

I don’t think either WebEx or CoPilot are going to be treading on each other’s toes as from what I can tell they’re designed for different markets.

I think you may be a bit biased here Jack, as you posted your comment from the IP address of webex.com
