Nethack text/terminal interface

Re: calendars and sync

Is the version of Nokia Sync which supports the n900 even out yet? I assume it will be available before the imminent :-) release date.

VNC Client on 2006 OS?

Does anybody know if someone is working on porting the VNC viewer to the 2006 OS?

The lack of this software is now what is stopping me from upgrading.

Are there any alternatives?
