[X4U] [SUMMARY] rdp remote desktop server for 10.4 Tiger

[Ralph]

Someone just recently did this for me (remotely controlled, or at  
least viewed the screen of, my PowerBook from a Windows machine).  
 From my end, it worked like this:

I was told to launch a browser (I used Safari) and go to https:// 
www.fastsupport.com/. At the login screen, I typed my name and the  
support person gave me a 9-digit code to enter, which I did. Safari  
loaded a Java applet (I think) and, after a moment, the remote  
support person could see what I did on my machine while we spoke over  
the phone.

HTH.
