or maybe ultraVNC perchance?

as far as realVNC not a big fan of the whole free (GPL) vs enterprise 
(commercial extras), especially when the enterprise features are 
available in free GPL'd alternatives (encryption being a huge issue for 
me, file transfer is also quite useful in certain situations.)
