Go to www.radmin.com and download Radmin. The package is only $35.00 for a
server and client. It blows the doors off of anything else we've used
including PCAnywhere, VNC and many others. It's basically a poor man's
Citrix and works very well as a remote control program. We purchased a
large amount of "server" licenses so that we can install these on the client
workstations. By passing through a server with a public IP address, we can
get to any workstation in the network if we have the proper security.
Another nice feature is that since this runs on the WinNT/2000 as well, it
can use NT security.
