XVision 4.1 doc mentions R5 as well!

XVision 4.1 has NCD Xremote (modem) as an option to be bought separately.
I have not yet tried it.

Yes, but very useful for a PC with VGA only.

Yes and no. XVision also supports older versions of PC/TCP without the
Windows driver. You will have to load a TSR instead.

The combination XVision 4.1 and Windows 3.1 impressed me (happens once or
twice a year typically). It runs 30% faster on my crappy PC, and a lot
faster on a 486/33Mhz with some memory (8 MB).
