+Jeff Mock of <a href=http://alfa.naic.edu>the world's largest radio telescope
+in Arecibo</a> sent me a nice
+<a href=http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/alfa-vnc.gif>screenshot</a>,
+describing his use of LibVNCServer:
+
+<p>
+
+<i>I've been using it for about 4 months
+on a project to build a new spectrometer for the radio telescope at
+Arecibo.  Arecibo is the largest radio telescope in the world (305m!) in
+Puerto Rico. It has 10-times the collecting area of the second largest
+telescope in Effelsburg (maybe near you?).
+
+<p>
+
+The project is an embedded linux box that boots from a compact flash
+card.  The root filesystem is only about 5MB. X wasn't reasonable
+for such a small embedded system, but libvncserver was perfect.  On
+the console we run graphical diagnostics that write directly to the
+frame buffer.  It was a simple matter to hook this direct-framebuffer
+application to libvncserver.  This way we can easily view the
+diagnostics for the spectrometer from the control room (or anyplace
+else for that matter).</i>
