I'm not familiar with vnc but I do know of a program called Timbuktu http://www.timbuktupro.com distributed by Netopia. You'd have to look at older versions to run on older Macs but it does fill the bill as you requested. It's easy to set up and runs well even on older Macs. I control my server with my PowerBook G3 Series (Lombard) but I used to use a PowerBook 1400c (not for surfing though). -- Esver Camacho mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gold Coast Macintosh Users Group http://www.gcmac.org -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
