make VNC server accept incoming viewer after delay

Hello you all,
I have a problem concerning RealVNC and I would like to ask you for a possible solution.

My problem is that I want to connect with the RealVNC Viewer to a PC that is running RealVNC-Server. I would like the server to prompt when a new connection is about to be build up. The User sitting at the server should have the opportunity to reject the connection within a certain period of time (let's say 20 seconds) if he is working on the server. Otherwise (i.e.) the connection should be allowed, as there often is noone at the VNC server to allow the connection.

To conclude: I would like to make "Accept" the default action after elapsed time of dialog box.

I am running Windows 98 on the server and XP or 98 on the Client (RealVNC Viewer). Version Number is 4.0 (June 2004).

Please help me to solve my problem, if you are able to. Maybe you have a compiled version of RealVNC that has this feature already built in as I am not familiar with programming and compiling.

Best regards,
Rainer
