Yes I need something reliable, I can deal with a crash or two, but I do not want my Father-In-Law to have to deal with any more weirdness than needed.

Timbuktu it is.


timbuktu (sp?) is such a program, i don't know what it cost but allows complete control of one
machine by another over a network, which should work through a dial up connection if you call each

VNC is another, and it is free. The Windows versions work pretty well, the Mac version was rather buggy last I tried it but that was OS 9; I'd expect the OS X version to be based on a good unix port so it should be OK.

VNC is free and will work (It worked well enough for me to routinely control an OS 9 system running headless as a web server, but if it was going to crash, it was VNC that crashed).


Timbuktu, though costly, will run better over the dial-up connection, though.
