Have you tried VNC? It's a "remote control" program, sort of like a stripped
down PC Anywhere, but free and runs on multiple platforms. You can even access
a VNC server using just a java capable web browser when working from a machine
that has no VNC client installed.

You can get it here: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

For anyone who has two computers with two monitors, but would like
to operate both from one keyboard and mouse, there's a nifty little utility
called "x2vnc" in the "Contributed" section of that web site that passes mouse
and keyboard info from X on a *nix machine to a VNC server running on another
platform, but does not pass any display info back. The result is that the two
machines with two monitors running two different operating systems behave
almost like a single machine with two monitors. It always surprises onlookers
to see my mouse cursor pass smoothly between my two monitors when one is
displaying a KDE desktop (on Linux) and the other is a Win98 desktop.

I haven't tried controlling anything but a Win98 machine, but it should work
with any platform for which a VNC server is available (like Mac or Amiga).
The controlling machine has to be some flavor of Unix.
