Have you tried TightVNC? (www.tightvnc.com) It was designed for slow connections and has a few more things tweaked for better performance. And it's also free. Worth a look...
TightVNC Features (from their web site): Local cursor handling. Cursor movements do not generate screen updates any more, remote cursor movements are processed locally by the viewer, so you do not see remote cursor pointer moving too slow behind the local cursor. Efficient compression algorithms. New Tight encoding is optimized for slow and medium-speed connections and thus generates much less traffic as compared to traditional VNC encodings. At the same time, TightVNC supports all the standard VNC encodings, so it can be easily configured to operate efficiently in fast network environments too. Configurable compression levels. You can choose any appropriate level of compromise between compression ratios and coding speed, depending on the your connection speed and processor power. Optional JPEG compression. If you don't care too much about perfect image quality, you can enable JPEG coder which would compress color-rich screen areas much more efficiently (and image quality level is configurable too). Web browser access. TightVNC includes greatly improved Java viewer with full support for Tight encoding, local cursor feature, 24-bit color mode, and more. The Java viewer applet can be accessed via built-in HTTP server like in the standard VNC. Operating under Unix and Windows. All new features listed above are available in both Unix and Win32 versions of TightVNC. Advanced Properties dialog in WinVNC. Unlike the standard VNC, TightVNC gives you a possibility to set a number of advanced settings directly from the WinVNC GUI, and to apply changed settings immediately. There is no need to launch regedit to set query options, connection priority, to allow loopback connections, disable HTTP server etc. Automatic SSH tunneling on Unix. Unix version of TightVNC viewer can tunnel connections via SSH automatically using local SSH or OpenSSH client installation. And more. A number of other improvements, performance optimizations and bugfixes, see WhatsNew and ChangeLog documents. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Lewis-Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 12:29 PM Subject: RE: KITHRUP:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] HELO:Declude Console > We use VNC, pcAnywhere and TS, VNC is very slow over a 64kbps leased line to > our remote servers but okay over a local lan, pcAnywhere is okay but has a > licence fee, TS is excellent aside from some apps (very few) won't open in > GUI mode. > > Sorry for being out of scope. > > David > WiSS Limited > > -----Original Message----- > From: Todd Holt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 16 July 2002 17:10 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: KITHRUP:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] HELO:Declude Console > > > I am a M$ fan, but they were right when they named the product "terminal" > services.
