I haven't looked at what Tridia has added to the VNC project but the original free version works just fine as does the tightvnc variation if you run over low bandwidth links. You can install as a service on NT/2000 boxes so it will be active after a reboot. If the main access to these machines is remote, it makes things easier and faster if you set the screen size to something smaller than the controlling PC and make the background a solid color. The only quirk added by being behind the e-smith firewall/nat is that you can't make the connection directly - you have to pptp to the server first or set up port forwarding through ssh.
