VNC always has and always will be free.

There is an enterprise version (not free) which supports windows authentication among other things, but the regular version is free.

I use and recommend Ultra VNC (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/)

Tight VNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/) is good for learing with too...

awesome! thx prime! thx rapture!

Yup beaten to the punch. I also recomend UltraVNC as my first choice but if you are going over dial-up I've found tightvnc to be faster.

I notice they have Ultr@VNC v1.0.0 RC 18 - Self Installer and
Additional Video Driver for RC18 (W2000, XP). Is it neccessary to get the video driver too?
And will this work from Ultra DSL to Dialup?

[kryyst]

You don't need the video drivers. I use them but honestly I don't notice a difference. Ultra will work over dial-up but I've found tightvnc works a bit faster over dial-up. However Ultravnc has advantages such as file transfer and cut and paste that you don't get over tightvnc.

Good, I was hoping I didn't need to use the extra drivers.
What the heck, I'll try both and see which works better for me. I've got a couple pc's that I need to remote access for minor fixes once a mnth or so.
