You should do what you originally said you where going to do and
release a nice true component set for the remote tools and make it
transport independent. I myself don't want to use RTC stuff because I have lots of time invested in blocking sockets using Synapse and Synapse has incredible support for SSL already built in, so why would I want to use RTC for the transport?

I would like to be able to drop a viewer component on a form and be able to setup my own remote control system for internal use and I would want
source code, it's just not nice not to include source. There should also be a server component that I could just instantiate or drop on a form and set some properties and events and be on my way.

I would gladly pay up to 299 for such a product for non commercial use i.e. not sell to the general public as a PC Anywhere clone.
You could then charge much more for the right to do that.

I might even be happy with the encoder/decoder library IF you had a decent example of how to use it.
