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 viewer sessions from my local machine. As for encryption, I can't think of 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.
