While I have never used UltraVNC, TightVNC also has a listrening viewer daemon 
as well, but I have also not used it for anything other that initiating

anything better than piping VNC thru SSH, and on a DSL using SSH compression 
makes a difference.

It is good you have found a solution that works in any case.
