My mother-in-law is going to be getting an iMac in the next few months... she lives 1,000 miles away and has been a PC user. I have been her support for several years and am glad my wife finally convinced her to get a mac. Anyhoo, I'm thinking it would be very easy to help her if I can set up some sort of VNC connection between our computers so I can remotely take control of her machine when needed and diagnose any problems. Problem is, I'm on broadband, she would be on modem. Where she lives, they can't get DSL, and cable broadband is still not available. Anyone have any advice as to which VNC server/client would be the best in this situation? Anyone have any experience with this type of setup? Will it be too painful to try since she's on dialup?
I also have a sister who lives pretty far away for whom I'd like to setup the same thing, but thankfully she's on broadband.
