Hi Dee Dee,
I would first try to write a script that worked locally then try to get it to work remotely.
The first thing that I tried was google. Usually, you can google for "applescript ....." and it will find something good.
I googled for the following phrase:
"applescript set sound volume"
I got some hits and I found some code that looked good:
set volume numberHalved
I went to "AppleScript Editor", trying to think of which AppleScript Dictionary to look in. I thought that the given sample code wasn't inside of any tell-application... so I thought that the place to look was in the "Standard Editions" AppleScript Dictionary
You can find this Dictionary from: "AppleEvent Editor" > "Windows" > " Library" > Standard Editions
Search for "volume".
Work on the script on your own machine.
Once you get the script working on your machine, you could try sending it to the remote machine:

Here is an article on the eppc: protocol. It would be like using the "http:" protocol for accessing (web sites)
except you would use "eppc" in place of "http". You might have to enter the remote computer's password like
the article above shows. Though you should always have a "secure" connection before sending a password.

I haven't finished this, but I hope that it helps you.
