don't know how well it works, either. Can any of you recommend a
program and how easy it would be to use?
What about Screen Sharing in Core Services? That's what I use on the
LAN, I've never done remote on the WAN though. I would think with proper
configuration it would work (mainly enabling remote access and port
forwarding to his PowerBook).

LAN means the local network, say in your house, with 2-3 computers
connected by an Airport or router, correct?
I tried to connect to my MacBookPro and the PowerBook from my new iMac
using the GO>Connect to Server. I kept getting a message that said
incorrect password or user name and I KNOW they were correct. (I use
the same one for all the computers.) So I could not connect with
Screen Sharing.
Also, would I have to be home to use the Screen Sharing?
Jane
You can achieve screen sharing between MacBooks & iMacs with iChat - I
am not sure if this is 10.5/10.6 only, but no doubt someone with greater
experience & knowledge than me (and that won't be too hard to achieve)
will know if this extends back to 10.4 as well.
