I've used RealVNC in mixed environments recently. It seems you only need to
pay for the software if it contains a server - the viewers can be downloaded
separately and run without charge. So, you can download whichever viewer is
appropriate for the platform (and run it on 7), and it should interact
successfully with the server on HPUX.

Subject: VNC server on HP, viewer on Win 7

Hello,

It has been some time since I have used VNC.

Is it possible to run VNC Server (free or otherwise) on HPUX, and run
VNC Viewer on Windows 7.
Can I do this setup with the Free Edition?
If I need to purchase the server enterprise edition for our HPUX, does
it come with a viewer for Windows 7 or do I still need to download the
free viewer and will it work on Windows 7?

I looked around on the website and saw server support for windows 7, but
I will be running the server on HPUX, and only the viewer on windows 7.

Thank you for your advice.
Norma Jean

The need to pay is bullshit. I've run a vnc-server on hp-ux in the past
century. In the 1990's, I used the binary Xvnc for/on hp-ux. You should
be able to find a hpux package for free.

There are several ways to setup vnc on unix machines. The vnc package
for unix contains a binary Xvnc, which can be used as a replacement or
additional X11 server. There are various recipies in the archives of
internet, even in the archives of this maillist, if they go back that long.

If you are desperate and I can find the time and the data, I might dig
it from my memory. Unfortunately, there are no hp-ux machines around to
fetch the working settings.

Success
