[G4] remote desktop on a MAC?

[Jim Pacyga]

Yup.  I have been using RDC to run a Windocs server in my basement that I use for file serving.  It works just fine on my G3 iBook or G4/500.  You can save your session parameters with the dialogue box so that you can just start up by launching the saved session instead of configuring each time...also allows you to turn off certain features to speed up the connection.

I second the RDC from M$.  I have been able to use it on my home G4 350  
Yikes running 10.2.8 for the last year for connecting to my work XP PRo  
box for production support issues.  Much easier then driving in at 2 am  
in the morning.

I have been able to crash it on occasion by trying to rip cd's with  
iTunes.  The crash happens when iTunes notifies me of completing its  
download of a cd, it causes the RDC to hang.  I kill the RDC session  
and then am able to reestablish the session to my work machine.
