I have not tried VNC on windows to access unix. I find on a 10BaseT network VNC screen handling leave a lot to be desired. eXceed is transparent. The bad part is eXceed is blotware. There is a ton of stuff that is probably useful in a corporate network but that I never installed. They have (had??) a "lite" version that does X only for $125. Or at least they did offer that in '98-'99. I quit using it as I started replacing win workstations with FreeBSD.
