POS software on my mac

[tinydancer]

I own a store in which we operate a Dell POS system. We use a software porgram installed on the POS unit that is only supported on PCs. I own a G4 imac with Tiger. If I had some way of installing the POS admin software on my mac I could update prices, employee information and other items right from home; however, as you can see I cannot do that at this point given that I am running OSX. Do any of you know if there is a work-around available to me concerning this issue? I am certain that this software is coded for windows and is not available for the mac. Any thoughts?

ah.... POS = Point of Sale

Sorry for the lack of help but the title drew me to the post.

Can it be run under VirtualPC?

I don't know. How would one go about finding that out?

If any of the Windows boxes are running XP Pro, you could just turn on Remote Desktop, download the client from Microsoft and access/control it remotely. I do this all the time with my work PC as it often proves more effective.

If RDC won't work you could always use VNC...
