AmesMUG: VNC Viewers that work on Leopard?

[Brandon Newendorp]

I was typing that last message on my iPhone so I didn't want to write  
too much, but I thought I'd add a bit to this.  You can actually type vnc://*ipaddress* 
  in a lot of places to launch Screen Sharing.app.  Safari, clickable  
links in emails, iChat, Finder's Connect to Server, etc.  Leopard just  
ties the vnc:// protocol to Screen Sharing.app.
