[G4] Best solution for remote access

[jim carbone]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer in the right direction,  
here... I'm looking for the best way to be able to access another mac  
on a remote network.

The specifics are as follows: I have a G4 Dual 1.25mhz MDD running  
Tiger, and I just purchased an 867mhz G4 for an employee who will be  
working from her home. She will want to connect the machine to her  
existing network, and I will want to be able to access her Mac  
whenever I need it. For the most part, this will be for transferring  
large files, but I may have need at some point to remotely maintain  
the machine as she's not familiar with Macs, and too far away for me  
to travel to for minor issues.

The other thing is that I don't want to have access to her entire  
network--just her Mac. We're both on broadband connections without  
static IPs, if that means anything.

I'm keen to do my research, but since this is all new to me, I  
wouldn't mind a helper as to where to start. Is Remote Desktop the  
way to go for everything I need, or is too much? It looks a little  
overwhelming (to both my head and wallet). Possibly Timbuktu? Or will  
I just be able to connect directly as a server? Cost is always a  
factor, but so is getting the right solution and not messing with  
something kludgy.

I appreciate any info you can offer!

Thanks,
