There is a progrgram known as MacChuck published by Vano Associates
that lets you run a PC remotely in a Mac window over serial interfaces
or Appletalk.  With this program, you can use the Mac's screen capture
facility to capture a PC screen.  Macchuck only works when the PC
display is in character mode, so you can't use it to capture graphics
screens.  It does, however, faithfully represent all of the PC's
graphics characters (and even includes the Mac bitmap fonts needed to
do this).  Highly recommended, costs $80 or $100 if I recall
correctly.
