Anyone succeed with VNC?

I have been trying to get VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/)
up and running under Linux-ppc. I have used it under MacOS and seen it used under Linux-x86, and it is a great package.
Unfortunately, it is hard to find for Linux-ppc. The website (above) points to an rpm hosted at ppc.linux.or.jp, but that server never responds.. I have poked all around the linux.or.jp servers with no luck.
Over the weekend, I broke down and decided to try to build it. The X version of it is based on XF86 source, and (with only minor modifications to the linux.cf file to recognize powerpc architecture) it built fine. However, when run, it produces slightly muddled screen displays, and crashes after window dragging or other large operations.
Has anyone out there succeeded with VNC, or does anyone know where the rpms which apparently existed once have gone? It would be very useful to return this package to Linux-ppc compatibility. I can put in a little time working on it, but have no familiarity with the innards of an XF86 server, so if I could enlist some help from someone who has poked at that package before, it might greatly improve the likelihood of my getting this done in finite time.
Thanks.
