A couple people want me to work on their PCs. I want to avoid
traveling 50 and 75 miles to their locations. If something has to be
installed on their machines, I have to go there at least once. I
would rather not.

I found Desktop-on-Call 2.2 in US. 5.0 on Hobbes and 5.5 in Japan. It
seems to need to be installed on the machine to be accessed, which are
Win boxes.

I found a bunch of shareware\freeware under Remote Control and VNC --
for Win.
