All new machines come with Leopard. Leopard includes the ability for build in screen sharing. You can use it through iChat or there is also a hidden application that controls this. I can't remember the name or where it is off hand, but it's just a scaled down version of ARD. It works quite well for what you're wanting to do. Going through iChat does seems to be "lighter" and you could try it with dial-up (scale back to grayscale colors too), but I think you will still want broadband.

Hidden? It's right there in /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing, right next to the other applications.

Or something. "Utilities?" Nah.

On the other hand, if you have even one Leopard client it's a good way to handle single system management by remote.

I'm a fan of screen sharing, especially after these two commands:

#Add Bonjour to screen sharing application

defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug 1

#Add functionality to 10.5 Screen Sharing app

defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing \

'NSToolbar Configuration ControlToolbar' -dict-add 'TB Item Identifiers' \

'(Scale,Control,Share,Curtain,Capture,FullScreen,GetClipboard,SendClipboard,Quality)'
