If you're on dialup, try tightvnc. That's modified version on VNC for using on slow networks. Pretty good, you can reduce colors, use different types of commpresion etc. Also seems to me like timeouts are higher, so you will not lose connection so frequently on bad connections.
All other functions are the same. Address is www.tightvnc.com.

P.S. (to previous mailers): Heh, no need to tell me about bad days. This day is my first in the office after vacation. Everyone seems to moved somewhere else, i'm in new position, new PC with no support stuff (and no net cable), 1.5m long power cords, my notebook request stuffed in the middle of paper flow machine, traffic in my city still disrupted by recent flooding, and english lessons are scheduled on the other end of city. I'd like these returns. :-))))
