Just a thought: As a fast and dirty approach, have you considered just
using a remote control program to grant remote access to a common
desktop?.
Programs like the frame buffer VNC and it's siblings, TightVNC (better
compression), ultraVNC (uses Windows A/D authentication) are free and
easy to use and work well over any IP connection of reasonable
bandwidth.
Connection is password protected.
Pros are:
1) free (to acquire and to use).
2) cross-platform: Win, Linux and Mac viewers and servers freely
available.
3) Multiple interactive connections to the same desktop (=server) are
possible, unlike windows Remote Desktop (RDP).
4) can grant full and view only access simultaneously.
5) modest bandwidth: should be useable on anything from about 128 -
200kbit/s up.
Hope this is useful.

We have been using a service first provided as Macromedia Breeze, then

teleconferences.
That service is expensive, and at the moment seems broken. Is there
something else out there that folks have been using and really like?
Thanks,
