I would like to access my OS X Mac Mini desktop from my X1000.

Am I able to download a VNC style app for Amiga that will allow me remote controlling a Mac OS X desktop over my network?

I have Vine Server running on my Intel based Mac Mini with OS X 10.6.8 and would be nice to remotely control within a Window my Mini from my X1000.

Thanks for any tips on how to do this.

I use RDesktop under OS4 to control my PC, not sure about Macs though.

I don't believe RDesktop supports Mac OS X.

TwinVNC has been found to work.

Here is a quick vid showing me control my Mac from my X1000.

One day hope to buy one of those video stabilzer hand grips for my iPhone so I can take some of the "I drank too much coffee" jitters during the vid.

Nice work on the video TJ.

Why does TwinVNC work with your MacMini, while RDesktop does not? I don't know anything about either of them.

I need to play around with RDesktop and a connection to my Windows Vista Ultimate PC. A friend is borrowing my Intel CoreDuo powered MacMini, but is ready to return it. That is probably the computer I would most likely leave on all the time to act as a file server to share data with other computers on my network, since the power consumption is so low.

Is it easy to wake a computer from sleep, or hibernation when connected via VNC? I would guess the answer must be yes, or it would not be of much use.
