Another alternative: VNC (Virtual Network Computing). It's free, lightweight,
software only, reliable, works in 9x/NT or between two computers with ANY
operating system(!), either on a LAN (where it is instantaneous) or between two
remote computers attached to the Internet (nanosecond delay if broadband), can
be installed as a service or an app, and much much more. *You* can see &
manipulate the desktop of your home computer (or anybody else's computer), and
manipulate it's programs, from around the world. The only serious limitation
that I know of is that you can't do full screen VGA. Ultr@VNC is particularly
fast if you're Win32 only. Check out:
