Try Carbon Copy Plus.  I think the latest version is 5.1 or something.
It will let you pretend you are sitting at the remote PC, and can even
run things like Flight Simulator!

There is an optional callback feature for added security (the remote
system must call you back at a known phone number when you try to call
it) and for allowing "collect calls" if it is long distance.

The old versions ( <= 5.0 ) used to require you buy 2 packages -- one 
for remote, one for local.  I think the new version needs only 1 copy
to be purchased.

I've seen it here in Toronto (Computronix Data Centre) for $99 (on sale).

I've used the package extensively and was quite impressed.
