I have had a network wide installation of VNC by AT&T Labs

Verdict: Excellent

it is a very low memory program and only the host service need be installed
- the remote control program is small enough to fit on a floppy.

BTW the only problem I find is that the VNC icon is displayed on the taskbar
and the password is easily changeable, but with the source code I suppose
you could hard-code a password into it (Guessing my programming knowledge is
somewhere between 1 and -1!)

to see it go to http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
