The latest version on squeaksource works. You can load it from 
http://squeaksource.com/RFB (Note that this package has been forked at 
least three times.) We used to connect to the server with RealVNC with the 
following settings: ZRLE encoding (disable auto select), Full color. 
IIRC you should also turn off the "render cursor locally" feature.
On the server you should allow ZRLE and turn off the conserve memory 
feature.
