[Ham-Mac] Fldigi and Screen Sharing - UPDATE

[Alan Bomberger]

Thank you!

Chicken of the VNC works with RealVNC.   I will also try the RealVNC client as 
Chicken is a bit slower than the apple screen sharing but actually a lot faster than
Chicken and Apple Screen Sharing server.

If you access your remote system via the internet than that is not a recommended solution.  However, if your remote system is on the same local LAN (no internet) as your other computer, it could be something to try.
