Timbuktu gives you complete remote control of another Macintosh,
including full screen sharing and file transfer. It's the perfect tool
for controlling your office Macintosh from home or on the road. If
you're a network manager, you'll find that Timbuktu lets you make quick
work of tough user support problems. And if you need to work with
someone in another office (or another city), a Timbuktu conference call
lets you share control of a single Mac and get more done. Timbuktu works
over any local AppleTalk network, and over AppleTalk Remote Access.
Remote control
> Use Timbuktu with the Macintosh PowerBook (or any Mac) to remotely
control your office Mac from anywhere.
> Launch power-hungry applications on your office Mac and run them
remotely.
