Thanks, hope VNC works with Vista.

If I am really lucky with VNC, perhaps it will
permit simultaneous regular use of the telephone,
like Timbuktu does.
(broadband, only one phone line needed by Timbuktu)

She is a 90 year old gal who got the Mac
as a xmas gift from one of her grand-children here
in the states, but they do not seem too interested in
helping her via long distance phone calls.

I am just a friend of the family.

The kids requested that I help her, because they knew
that I do a lot of remote control work.

Problem is, I junked all of my XP stuff, strictly Vista
here right now.

Big Mistake, can't get Timbuktu to work with Vista.

Will give VNC a try.
