If you forward this port to any XP RDP enabled PC (Right-click My Computer, select the Remote Tab, tic the Allow Users to connect remotely to this computer, click Select Remote Users to choose the accounts allowed access) your service partner can access the machine. Keep in mind that only_one_person_at_a_time will be able to connect to this machine. If someone else tries to connect to the target PC, they will get a warning about the other user logged in locally. I've set up both Terminal Server environments, which can get quite costly, and also alternative solutions. You could also look into WinConnect Server XP, which for a smaller investment, does the same thing on an XP workstation, simulating a TS environment.
