[Macpartners] Remote Access for Clients

[Brian Bulmer]

I'm assuming since were on the MacPartnets list, these are macs.
If they are macs, and at least the home machine is on leopard, then  
you can use the built in screen sharing in Leopard, with remote  
desktop in 10.2 - 10.4.
If not on leopard, they can always use VNC software in conjunction  
with Apple remote desktop in order to control work machines from home.
There is no need to purchase or install third party software.

If more info is needed, please feel free to drop me a line.
