We've used VNC, but the Microsoft remote desktop stuff is really easy
as long as you never need to have a local user on the server at the
same time as a remote client. Nothing beats Citrix.... or VMware.

Dunno how much the Cisco server/client costs...but works very
seamlessly and allows you to cryptokey both machines to keep
everyone else out--and you can pretty much use any type of link
connect. Would suspect that there are pretty good freeware/shareware
VPN tunnels good enough for modest file transfers. Still, if your
ISP doesn't block the ports, the SCP stuff from the puTTY folks is
extremely simple to set up... with cygwin being only a slight bit
more difficult. And both are priced right--free.
For giggles, has anyone seen the reports [too appropriate to be made
up] that BMW will soon be offering Sun Java in their vehicles? And
guess who Microsoft has signed an automotive software deal with?
FIAT!!! Yup...Fix It Again Tony Fiat auto systems by Microsoft...
