A product I'd never heard of, Farallon's Timbuktu, now offers a
Netscape-compatible applet called "Look@Me" which is said to allow
users to observe or control remote PCs or Macintoshes over the
Internet. It is available in various versions for Windows and the
Mac. For details or to download applets, see:

Has anyone reviewed the security aspects of Look@Me? The security
specs provided at the Farallon web site are sketchy:
