XP remote connect to Win2K PC?

Thanks Jason.

I'm awaiting a call-back from the UK office. It appears that Webex's
services are mostly aimed at conferencing and I expect that their fees will
be too high for this to be economical, but we'll see.

What do you pay for your service? What service is it that you use? Do you
justify the cost for this purpose alone?

Jonathan,

I don't need to pay to get the service because I work at WebEx. But
you can get it for free until 2005 and after that, it is $9.95/month
if you subscribe for a year. It is a self service, you can check it
out on
http://www.webex.com/go?accessone. Actually this is really useful
because if I accidentally forgot anything on my computer, I can get
it. Kind of having a personal carrier between home and work at all
times.

Also, recently I found that my company blocks certain port and web
site. I actually can use access anywhere to access the blocked address
via my home computer. Pretty cool. And if you have emails archived
on your home computer, you can also access them also.

Whether the costs justifies the benefits various from person to
person. I am paying $40/month to my broadband provider and most of the
time my home computer is idle. With 9.95 more, I make a lot better use
of my $40/month. Yeah, I think it is worth it.
