There is a VNC server built-in to OSX 10.5 and later. For earlier versions you have to run a sandalone VNC server like Vine. While you could use a VNC client on the Mac, such as Chiecken of the VNC, to display his screen, under the hood it's just transmitting a bitmap of his display to a window on your mac so VO won't be able to help much there. If he had Jaws installed I would think the VNC keystrokes would go through ok but you would need audio coming back through some other channel since VNC is just video/keyboard/mouse.
