Hi Richard,

Built-in Screen Sharing is one option, though I have only had luck with it
if machines are close by (read, same subnet).  VNC access is also built-in.
I use Chicken of the VNC as a client to remote to other Mac workstations.
As an alternative to these free options, have a look at Timbuktu Pro.

hth,

Andrew.
