The combination of Share My Desktop and Chicken of the VNC works fine for me over Firewire. I din't try over Internet, but would assume it would be too slow to be usable.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Timbuktu is definitely the way.

I've used VNC over the Internet. It's kind of annoying, but not unusable. You just need a little patience.
Timbuktu is probably better, though (haven't tried it myself).

VNC is far from ideal, but it works. I still have issues with copy-and-paste, though. Mac OS 10.3 comes with Apple Remote Desktop built-in (you can download it for 10.2), but you'll need the ARD software (non-free) to connect to another Mac.
Otherwise, there's always secure shell (ssh), though it isn't graphical.

Why not just use Apple Remote Desktop?

signatures are a waste of bandwidth

Because it's designed for LAN use, not internet, and it's not free, and it's really designed for lab monitoring, not one-on-one remote access. Timbuktu does a MUCH better job than anything else for that.
