VNC doesn't work against a Dell PowerEdge 6400 quad-700MHz CPU machine, 2G
of RAM, with NT Server 4 SP 6a with security hotfixes applied, including the
fixes highlighted by PatchWork.
VNC works against an old Pentium II clone, with less memory, no brand name,
NT4 SP5.

Wow, I can't believe that you could not get it to run on that one
machine.
It seems in my opinion that you gave up way to easy, the NT version
works
extremely well.
In all likely hood you had a corrupt NT install or some really
really weird
hardware.
VNC for NT has worked on every server I have ever tried it on.
It is a great piece of software.
If you need commercial support then you should check our Tridia VNC

Good Luck,
