Dale:
We use UltraVNC on our Windows machines, and it's free as far as I
know (I'm not involved in licensing and that kind of noise). I
have had better luck with the UVNC server than with the Real one,
but the vncviewer works about the same. RealVNC maintains the
protocol, and when UVNC, TightVNC, etc., want to create some new
kind of packet, they apply to RealVNC for a number, and AFAIK,
RealVNC gladly hands it out. I'm guessing that UVNC was written
by guys more familiar with MSWindows (only because it's not on
other platforms, not because of code quality; I haven't really
compared the codebases). I think the protocol is designed so that
unknown packet types are ignore/dropped, so that a viewer and a
server can always talk to one another, provided that they're both
using the same *version* of the protocol. That's the beauty of
RealVNC maintaining the protocol for everybody; all the various
flavors can all talk with one another (again, if they use the
same version). If U're having trouble with a viewer and a server
from different packages not communicating, it could be because
they're not both using the same version of the protocol.
Thx, Phil Long

Thanks,
On the Windows OS would one be better to use free UltaVNC server
and client than Real?
What is the advantage of UltraVNC?
Then on Mac OS I would stick with my Vine Server and Chicken of
the VNC (Real VNC based).
Does UltraVNC play nice with the Vine Server / Chicken of the VNC
on the Mac OS if I switch on the Windows OS side?

Great point. Is there a difference between UltraVNC and TightVNC?
The server and viewer are free right?
Which web site to use to obtain them?
I am thinking of switching from RealVNC on PCs. Assume those will
connect with anyone still using RealVNC?
On the Macs we use VineServer from Redstone and Chicken of the VNC
from
Geekspiff.
Any suggested free alternates?

Try UltraVNC.
TightVNC 2.0 supports that as well.
