Funny this should come up, as I've been trying this lately too.
I haven't removed my voodoo monitor file.
Reading the installation instructions, it says to install the vnc monitor files to STORAGE: not to DEVS:.
I've interpreted the instructions to mean that once P96 installation is complete the PREVIOUS graphics driver (eg DBLPAL) should be removed from devs/monitors.

I've not yet been able to establish a connection though.

Thus far I get a lot of connection refused (***61) errors when trying to connect from my PC.
I believe the problem is partly amitcp related.  I've set the AVNC file to run on port 5900, and I think I've enabled this port for clients on my network 192.168.1.* in genesis.

Once I got to the "enter passwork to connect" stage, but all the other tiems it either times out, or I get the connection refused error message.

So I think there may also be an encoding issue, or perhaps VNC4.0 viewer is not backwards compatible with previous servers?

Have given up for now.

As for VVA (VNC viewer for Amiga) - it works, but the refresh rate is depressingly slow when the screen has several colours (or anything non-black).  
IIRC VNC encodes screens as JPEGS doesn't it?  Does VVA use its own internal decoder, or datatypes?  I've seen no noticable increase in speed with WardDT installed.
