There are several. They all differ slightly in their capabilities.

The oldest of the bunch is Timbuktu (www.netopia.com). It will allow 
Macs and Windows machines to drive each other remotely.

Apple sells a product called Apple Remote Desktop that lets you drive a 
Mac from another Mac.

Mactopia (www.mactopia.com) sells a Mac client for the Windows remote 
desktop server from Microsoft.

Finally, there are a whole bunch of freeware VNC clients and servers 
out there which allow desktop sharing. Go to versiontracker.com and 
search on VNC to get a list. I've used Chicken of the VNC to talk to 
Windows machines, and it works pretty well, although a slow network 
connection can make it maddening.
