If you want to use it with Win9x/ME over a slow modem connection, I highly recommend TightVNC. Besides the compression, the latest release of TightVNC includes a bug fix which eliminates the drain and potential crashing of the VNC server during the initial transfer of the desktop image. After all, there is little point in crashing the machine you are trying to help.
Other than that, there are a few other enhancements included in TightVNC which are not part of the basic WinVNC. Development and maintenance of TightVNC also appears to more active these days so bug fixes are more likely to be included in it although this could change at any time (who knows what those guys are up to). So why use AT&T's VNC? The only reason that I can think of only affects you if you want to use it on a platform that is not supported. VNC is available for more platforms than any of its offsprings. Don't forget to also consider TridiaVNC (http://www.tridiavnc.com/) if you are looking for something with official support. It has a similar set of features (if not more) to those included in TightVNC. If you run into any problems, you have the comfort of knowing you have someplace to call to get immediate help in addition to discussion forums like this one.
