Check out LogMeIn.com, with their free version. I finally let guilt get the best of me and licesned 5 Pro versions, but I still have almost 30 PCs running the free version on my account. And, for the record, as slick as LogMeIn is, I still far prefer pcAnyWhere over Remote Desktop, VNC and even LogMeIn (which I like a lot). I do not use any of these over dialup, but I do have some machinery behind slow DSL or fractional T1 connections.
