I kind of made it work with IChat, but it was a real hack. First, you can't just connect in to any Mac that you own. Someone has to be sitting at it, logged in to IChat, and approve your connect request and your screen sharing (remote control) request Then, you can control the other computer through your keyboard, but you only can hear what's going on by listening to their VoiceOver being recorded by their computer's microphone. This means that you must have voice chat going at the same time as screen sharing.
