administrating/maintaining a remote pc

What software would you use for establishing a complete remote connection to another windows PC? So you can see the screen and click and move the mouse around.

I know it works great over a LAN, but does anyone know if it would work adequately over a 56k connection to the internet?

Or would dialing a direct connection to the computer be better than using the net?

Aye, VNC is excellent, and at that price (FREE!!!) it can't be beat!

Or if you want to light up your virus scanner use Back Orfice - it doesn't just have malicious uses. Lots of cool plugins.

ach, I find Vnc unreliable and has delayed reactions. Sometimes it doesnt even show a pop up box ?

Pcanywhere is the best, but its more Cpu intensive

You can get a version of VNC for dialup called tightVNC I think
