Hi there,
I have a friend who wants to remote-control his PC in the office with his Mac from home. In the office he has a PC running Windows 2000, and I think he has a PM running OS 8 or 9. They will soon be getting ADSL in the office, and I know that on the PC you can use Symantec PC Anywhere , but does anyone know of a cross-platform product?
VNC should do the trick, and it's free:

There's even native MacOS support, as well as a Java version of the viewer.
If I may slip into horribly cliched out-of-date popular culture:
VNC is da bomb!
Definitely the way to go. It is an omni-platform product; I use it to control my web server (a headless Performa 6214 running OS 8.6) as well as our office guinea pig OSX box (also running headless off in the corner)
One of the people in our office uses it to support folks in a another building, and we use it to get at server consoles, both Windows and Unix, from our desktops.
Highly recommended.
