I use a program called VNC, which allows a person to
remotely control another machine (be it mac, windows,
linux, os/2, what have you) from your machine.  A
window appears on your desk that shows the desktop of
the remote computer you wish to control.  All that
needs to be done is to install the server software on
the machine you wish to control, and install the
client software on the machine you wish to control
from.  The programs are very small ( < 1mb ).   I use
it here at work on my Linux machine to remotely
control my windows laptop so I don't have to move back
and forth to each one.  Here's their website address:

I believe it also works in the shell, but could be
wrong.  Hope that helps.
