I was going to recommend the same thing.

Our Mac techie has installed OSXvnc (now called Vine Server for OS X, by 
Redstone Software, Inc., and available from their web site, or from 
sourceforge or freshmeat) on some of our Mac servers, and I haven't had 
any trouble accessing it using either RealVNC under Windows XP, or the 
Linux vncviewer command (both RealVNC 4.1.2, and an older att.com 3.3 
version).
