OK, analogue modems are slow. Remember though that both ends of the
connection have to support Tight for it to work correctly. You may also
find that adjusting your display settings helps as well (turn off
background patterns and pictures, for starters). If the server is based on
Windows and has a relatively old processor or video card, this may slow it
down as well (although it shouldn't be that noticeable over a modem).
BTW, "fast" protocols such as ICA probably work by sending relatively
OS-specific information from a fairly low-level part of the system, rather
than the generalised framebuffer protocol that is VNC. VNC's
cross-platform ability is entirely due to this generalised framebuffer
approach.
