I must say that I have had great success with all kinds of win98, XP, and 
2000 boxes running tridiavnc server.  I am able to log into them from a linux 
or windows box and experience very good performance.  When using xvncviewer, 
I use the bgr233 switch for faster refresh rates.

There are times when I vnc from an original ibook running debian over dsl 
through our frame to a win95 or win98 box connected to our frame with its own 
8k frame..  I use mrtg to monitor all of my links, and the bandwidth usage is 
minimal at best.  I use this method to access over 50 windows boxes, and 
speed has never been an issue.
