I'd like to get from my Windows XP box to the Mac. Right now, I can only connect if I am running at full resolution, which is really slow on a WAN link. I'd love to use only 256 colors, or something like that... anyone know how to do this?

I know I can do it with Vine server, but I didn't want to run two VNC servers.

Once you open Screen Sharing, you can change the preferences to "adapt quality". Also in a session you can do this under the "view" menu. It doesn't give you specifics on what is changing, but it implies that it will flex based on the needs of the network.
