You would use Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac.

I am afraid It will only work on Mac OS 10.2

What are you doing on OS9 anyway? You crazy?? :P

eh, it's what came on my G4 when I bought it and I haven't spent the extra $120 or so to upgrade. OS9 seems to be pretty stable and I haven't had any major problems so I don't have that much of a reason to upgrade like I did with Windows. One of the only reasons I upgraded Win98 to WinXP was because I was having stability issues with Win98. So far, WinXP seems more stable. And with OS9 not being built on the same Unix platform that OS10 is has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Afterall, it's not open to the security holes that is inherent with Unix like OS10, but not as robust or flexible so it's a toss-up as to which is better.

Heh, all of those points are true. I suppose as my machine came with OSX pre-installed, I got used to it and I can never go back!
