I tried Chicken of the VNC (installed the OSXvnc server on the other computer). I can make the software work, but there is a lot of lag on a 100bT wired network. Machines are both G4s, 450mhz and 800mhz. Should there be an annoying amount of lag, or do I just need to keep playing with the settings?

Don't tell everyone everything you know 2. The software box said, "Windows XP or better," so I bought a Macintosh. "Macintosh.
