Maybe someone else will post a hint for making this work well. I used Mac Ports to install tightvnc instead of Fink, but I can verify that the speed improvement is dramatic. That'll be a whole lot faster. Isn't that only good for connecting to a XP machine from the Mac? It doesn't work the other way around, does it?
In general, I'm not a fan of Microsoft products, but they did a damn good job on Remote Desktop. It's fast, you can share printers and drives, and you can turn off stuff like desktop patterns automatically. On a fast connection, for basic stuff, it's almost as good as sitting at the computer. Oops, you're right. I misread the hint. I had an early, long morning. Just check the box and assign a password for login.

If your client offers allowing JPEG compression, try turning this on. This is CPU-intensive on the server, so if the quality level is adjustable, try experimenting with it to see if you're comfortable with the trade-offs between screen refresh latency and display quality.
Disable scaling, unless you need it. I find this is most useful for viewing a desktop machine from a handheld device, which has constrained display area. Experiment with other supplied options like enabling CopyRect encoding and adjusting other custom compression levels. Cross-platform, highly configurable, even iOS apps available.
