Peter,
Windows 98 is a little odd in what it chooses to display in the list of
running tasks. It actually just displays those tasks that have a
"window" open in the task list, to a close approximation. There are
usually a number of other processes running on a Win98 system that won't
appear, because as far as '98 is concerned, they're system tasks and
shouldn't be visible to users.
WinVNC will normally attempt to display a tray icon, but it only does
this if it knows the username of the currently logged on user. If you
access '98 by pressing Cancel at the login stage (or just don't have a
login prompt at all) then you won't see the icon.
Cheers,

I've just put 3.3.7 server up on a Win98 machine (Not SE) with default
settings (except java
disabled) and running as a service.
This was from the pre-compiled binary in vnc-3.3.7-x86_win32.exe.
I was very surprised to see that it is virtually completely invisible on
the server even when
active.
No taskbar icon, nor listed in the running programs under close program
(ctrl-alt-del).
In fact, unless I'm going more gaga than usual, the only place it seems
to be visible is in
Sygate Personal Firewall - Running Applications and Traffic Log - And
that's only on because
this machine is out on the wild internet outside my firewalls and NAT
routers.
I thought all the developers and almost everyone else were dead set
against this sort of
invisibility.
Anyway whilst people are pondering this I'd better get ZeBeDee up to
lock it down tight.
Best Wishes
Peter Ball
