Actually, it uses H.323, which just happens to piggy-back on
TCP/IP. Unfortunately, for some good though currently proving
short-sighted reasons, H.323 is a complete protocol which negotiates ports
on the fly, and does that negotiating through an encrypted channel. That's
not Microsoft's fault, except for using it... but, it does play pretty
poorly next to VNC's "single port" desktop access.
