Best way to remote access a MAC from a PC?
I need a simple way to remote access a MAC from a PC. The MAC is running OSX and the PC is running XP Pro. Both PCs are in different locations and are behind firewalls, but I have access to both and can open whatever ports I need to. Is there a simple inexpensive way to do this?
