To override auto select: When you launch the VNC Viewer, click on options button. Then remove the auto select check and make sure ZRLE is checked.
If you plan to use that setting all the time, you can save the setup so that you don't have to set the options with each connect. I don't know if it does not auto select under the circumstances you describe, but I have a friend that dials up this way and it's not a bad connection with a 56k modem.
