Yes. But I found CotVNC to have flaky cursor responsiveness. This,
and its unimpressive speed makes it less than desirable for my
Mac-to-Linux use. A bit afield from your question, I've found that
"ssh -Y <computer-name> gnome-session" yields a faster Linux desktop
connection than CotVNC, but since this is an X11 thing, remoting
Mac-to-Mac using this method is, at best, impractical to set up. A
pity.

Do check out JollysFastVNC at the link below. While CotVNC has been
stuck at 2.0b4 since early 2006, JollysFastVNC is under active
development. Seems to work better than CotVNC for my purpose but
still not as sweet as "ssh -Y"

I discovered a peculiarity of CotVNC yesterday. I was connecting from a Leopard Mac to a Leopard Server machine with ARD as the VNC server. It would work fine if I had the profile on CotVNC set to thousands of colours. However, if I reduced it to 256 colours to try to improve the performance, I would get an error message and no connection.
