WinVNC behaves poorly over slow networks on Windows 98. If your network is
slow or your card is dodgy or it has ropey drivers then you can get the
system running out of Resources, which crashes Win98. WinVNC seeming to
hang under Win2K usually indicates that it is blocking trying to output data
to a client machine which has died unexpectedly, in which case TCP will time
out the socket after 4 minutes and things will behave normally again...
