There are a couple of different programs that control a PC from a Mac.
PCanywhere and PC MacTerm from DMA, Inc are a pair of programs. The
first runs on the PC, the latter on the Mac.  This gives you the 'PC in
a window' control setup, and works very well over modems or direct
wiring.  MacChuck from Vano Associates does the same thing, but works
best in a direct-connection setup (I believe modem support may be
forthcoming).

I use PCanywhere/PCMacTerm, but have no experience with MacChuck.
