I control one endpoint (the 'server' / computer being connected to), and to some reasonable extent, can dictate how the other end is setup. To the extent that it matters to me, both approaches solve the same problem, that is, I need to allow somebody to use a computer here in BFE while they are in a different part of country as if they were sitting right here. I want whatever works best, preferably free or cheap; I don't care if it's web-based, VNC-based, or RDP-based. I'm comfortable working with any of those - _I'm only wondering if there is a shiny bit of software, of any of those types, hiding somewhere out there that I haven't heard of, which other people have found to be particularly nice to use_.

At any rate...this post isn't really getting me anywhere. :P Outside of copilot, nobody has even said a specific piece of software to use (except one for mac, which isn't terribly useful).
