That's great Peter. Yes xinetd should start the vncserver (Xvnc) on
the server for broadcasting.
x11vnc on the client is for monitoring/controlling/snapshots

I appreciate the help Peter.
Thanks to Jeff for getting this ball rolling by getting x11vnc to work
and thanks to Barry for making automagic rpm packages and testing.
Fl_TeacherTool is still alive.
