We had some issues with using a TightVNC client against vnc server v3.3.7, whereby the server process would crash and not restart, requiring a server reboot. So TightVNC got tossed as a client in our environment.
Its nice to have Terminal Services enabled so that one can attempt to restart a crashed vnc server service. Terminal services in W2K don't fulfull a requirement of being able to connect with svrmgrl (8.1.7) lsnrctl, namesctl, or sqlplus over bequeath. That is fixed in Windows 2003 Server. I've been testing VNC v4.0 beta 4 on a server here, and have not had any issues while using the VNC v4.0 beta 4 client. One can check the release notes here: http://www.realvnc.com/v4/release-notes.html I haven't benchmarked it over dialup yet, though, just over a WAN. Its smooth and snappy, but that's only 3 hops away. hth.
