Have two Macs (OS 9.2.2) networked with a Compaq.  I need to run the
PC's IE remotely via my Mac (as a client).  DAVE seems soley devoted to
file sharing.  Again, running OS 9.2.2 so can't take advantage of Remote
Desktop Connection Client for Mac.  Any suggestions?

Timbuktu works for me under OS X, and did under OS 9 as well
<http://www.netopia.com/software/products/tb2/mac/index.html>, but I
don't know if version 6.x is still available. Version 6.x runs under OS
9.x, but the latest version, 7.0.3, requires 10.2.8 or later. Give 'em
a call.

There's a free solution called VNC. The main development for it happens
here: <http://www.realvnc.com/>, but it's GPLd, so there are a zillion
spin-off projects you can find at <http://sourceforge.net/>, by
searching for 'vnc.'

A quick web search shows me this OS 9 VNC how-to:

Get VNC for the PC and Mac's.  There were versions for the Classic Mac
so you should be able to find them and versions for the PC.  Start
searching here:  (http://www.realvnc.com/).  VNC stands for virtual
networking computing.  It remotes out the screen and keyboard of a
server computer to any client that logs into the server.  It helps if
the screen on the Mac's is about the same size or later than the PC.

VNC? Could install a VNC server on the PC.

in addition to the previously mentioned freewares or Timbuktu, you can
try Astroview and Astroshare, two associated utilities that work on both
Pc and mac (also on Palm!) and allow you to view the screen and remotely
control another mac/PC from yours. You can also e. g. discuss with the
person on the other side with the microphone/loudspeaker of your
machine...
When AV and AS went out for the mac I bought a couple of licenses for $5
each, now it may be $10 or more but it is still quite cheap. Basically I
think AV/AS give you roughly the same as VNC with a much easier setup,
and on more machines.
