Sure it is possible.
What is the process?

Have remote system with a network share tested.
Image as usual using drive mapping boot approach.
(or better yet, WinPE and connect to remote share)
How long to push 2000/XP image over cable/dsl connection?

How big is your image?
How fast are your network connections (up/down)?
Pro's & Con's?

Pro's: Can image anywhere.
Con's: Takes ages to complete, no resume after broken connection.

Same as network, but through a VPN
How long to push 2000/XP image over cable/dsl connection?

This sort of thing sounds convenient until you do the maths:

Cable/DSL might be 512kbps upload, which translates to 3Mbyte per minute
A bog standard 100Mbps LAN is around 600Mbyte per minute.
And your hard disk can shift 1800Mbyte per minute to another hard disk !

Say you have 15Gig of data on that hard drive:

3 DAYS upload time at 512kbps.
25 Minutes over LAN
8 Minutes disk to disk.

In reality, the time taken would be longer than stated, not shorter...
