 A Great program called Carbon Copy Mac from Microcomm you would find useful.
It provides the same functions as Timbuktu, but it has a nicer interface,
and seems more reliable. I have used both Timbuktu and Carbon Copy.

  Carbon Copy provides for access to your Mac from AppleTalk, or from the modem.On the screen of the macintosh you are controlling from, the remote Mac's screen comes up in a seperate window. This is an advantage over Timbuktu, in that it allows you to do something on your local Mac, while remaining in control of the remote Mac. It also provides for file transfers. Over AppleTalk, this is great, as all tranfers are done in the background, and the Mac you are copying to/from, does not slow down much. Over m





odem, this may be a pest though, but I have not tried it yet.
