Hmm, iChat didn't do the audio, at least not on 10.5. Maybe they fixed
that in 10.6. There was another tool though. Just can't remember what it
was.

Yes, it would be great if we could remotely connect to other Macs with speech.
However, my main need is to be able to connect back to my Macs when I'm not at
home. If I have to install some 3rd-party tool, that's fine. If I have to pay,
that's fine. I just want to know if it can be done in any way.

Subject: Re: remote access / desktop support
There was a thread about this a while back so check the archives. I believe the
tricky bit was audio and screen readers on the remote machine. Free screen
sharing tools like VNC pass keyboard/mouse events to a remote machine and
mirror that machine's display in a window on your machine. The systems break in
two places:
1. Audio from the remote machine is often not mirrored back so whatever speech
is going on there won't be audible.
2. Even if audio is mirrored back, the remote machine may not have a screen
reader installed so you'll still have to slog through that process.
Probably #1 is the bigger issue and I thought somebody mentioned a screen
sharing package that did audio. Too bad about VNC since there is a VNC server
built into OSX. Anything else or any other OS will need the screen sharing
software installed on the remote box.

Hi Listers.
Being a fearly new mac user, I thought I'd ask the pro's,
Is there any support from voice over for remote desktop access to another
mac machine?
Or even better from a mac to a pc running windows xp or windows 7?
I know there is an RDP mac client to ccess windows. But what about mac to
mac
Any assistance much appreciated.
