I tried out the port mike did of vnc, the java version as well.
It is slower than sin when using a the java version with your web browser.
But the X version and windows versions are not that bad even over dialup.
I showed it to a friend at a local corporation and hes now installing it
on all new windows pc's that get built there for the lan users so he can
trouble shoot and isntall hardware and software remotely for them :)
VNC is pretty cool. I was using it to launch M$ Word over dialup heh from
a friends NT machine! It is fairly fast. Except when the person your
connecting to is running REAL high res. and like 16.7 million colors.
But 800x600 x 256 isnt bad. I was even half temtped to try lauching quake
or one of his games over their LAN connection from my X box to see If it
would work :)
I give VNC a 9 on the cool scale.
