Can anyone recommend a decent freeware VNC prog for Windoze?

TIA

I've used the original RealVNC successfully within a home network and
over the internet to remotely sort out a friend's computer.

Thanks to you both. I'll give them a whirl. Have tried ultravnc but
found it to be quite slow.

TightVNC can be made pretty quick if you turn on JPG compression and
set it to low quality. You have to remember NOT to select 8-bit
because, of course, JPG compression doesn't work with 8-bit. Seems
almost counter-intuitive, but there you go.

However, I understand that many other VNC clients also support Tight
compression these days, so it may simply be a case of setting the
compression options in your existing current VNC client.

Thanks Andrew. I'll give it a look.
