Reply: (edit)This is something I've always wondered- is there a netmeeting/pcAnywhere/terminal services type app for the Mac (like for Windows)? Something that will allow one Mac user to display the desktop of another Mac user remotely and control it with the mouse & keyboard as if he/she were sitting at the other Mac user's computer?

Reply: (edit)Yep. On the Classic Mac OS, Farallon's
Timbuktu will do quite nicely. Not sure about OS X; Timbuktu might be
coming there, but I think you could
probably compile a VNC server/client
pretty easily for free... p

version for Mac too.. I hope you get a decent reply too...and
please share on here. I'm guessing
they'll say get a Windows box...but even a
suggestion of a software that is
compatible with Netmeeting for us would
be sooooooo nice! Take care, Meli

Reply: (edit)Spam me!!! Please!! Just answer the
question!!! For the love of whatever your
deity is!!! Is there a Mac way to connect to
a Windows (SMB) Server??? The remote
desktop sharing feature of NetMeeting is
sadly underdeveloped and even more
sadly undocumented. And this is one of
my favorite M$ apps.

Reply: (edit)There have been ways to connect to
Windoze file shares on a Mac since the
early 1990s. DAVE, PCMacLan,
VirtualPC, and even OS X can do it now. p

Reply: (edit)There are a few folks who have compiled
RDESKTOP for OSX. http://homepage.mac.com/
spikenheimer/rdesktop/ You have to use
Terminal or OroborOSX to run it. I've had better
luck with the second choice. It uses the RDP to
connect to Windows 2000 Terminal Servers, so I
would imagine it would work with Remote
Desktop, too. I haven't tried it yet. There are a few VNC client apps for OSX, but the
computer you're connecting to would also need a
'server' version running on their machine. There
are a couple of those available as well. I found
most stuff on http://www.macupdate.com.
