I use Carbon Copy 32 over a combination 10base2/10baseT network with no
problems. I have found that running both computers at true color (24/32
bit) helps when inspecting images right from the camera. At other color
depths, dithering occurs, lowering the image quality considerably.

It is a bit slower than being right at the computer, but keeping comfortable
is a reasonable tradeoff.
