www.realvnc.com

The original vnc project from AT&T has moved to become "RealVNC".
I've used tightvnc for months, but I recommend you look at realvnc.
It's faster, more reliable and the graphics don't take a year to update
over slow links.

It also has cool support for bandwidth adjustments so it can pick the best
encoding to use automatically. It works very well in my experience.
You can even install it on a live remote system (which I've also done many
times) by checking the 'resgister as service' and 'start vnc service'
boxes in the installed.
